Ingredients

Sausages

  • 2 large bratwurst sausages (approx. 8.8 oz total)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Curry Sauce

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons mild curry powder, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Brown bratwurst sausages: Warm the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add bratwurst sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until they are evenly browned and cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove sausages from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes.
  2. Prepare curry sauce: While the sausages cook, combine ketchup, tomato paste, mild curry powder, Worcestershire sauce, honey, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar, water, salt, and black pepper in a small saucepan. Stir well and gently simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens and becomes aromatic.
  3. Slice sausages: Cut the rested bratwurst into bite-sized slices and arrange them on a serving plate.
  4. Top with sauce and garnish: Generously drizzle the warm curry sauce over the sausage slices. Sprinkle extra curry powder on top for garnish.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately, traditionally accompanied by French fries or a bread roll for a classic Currywurst experience.

Notes

  • Use mild or medium curry powder according to your heat preference.
  • Honey can be substituted with sugar or maple syrup.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it for a few extra minutes.
  • Bratwurst can be substituted with other German sausages like bockwurst or frankfurters.
  • Serve with traditional sides like fries, pretzels, or crusty bread.
