Sausages and Meat
- 6 juicy sausages (pork, beef, chicken, or plant-based)
Aromatics
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
Spices and Sauce Base
- 2 tbsp curry powder (blend of turmeric, cumin, coriander, etc.)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste or 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup stock (vegetable or chicken) or water
Optional Vegetables
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (optional)
- ½ cup peas (optional)
- 1 carrot, sliced (optional)
Finishing Touches
- Fresh coriander or parsley, chopped (to garnish)
- Prepare the Sausages: Slice the sausages evenly and brown them in a pan over medium heat until golden on all sides to retain juiciness and develop caramelized flavor.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, add diced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook gently until the onions are soft and translucent, releasing sweetness for the curry base.
- Add Curry Powder and Tomatoes: Sprinkle in curry powder and stir for about a minute to toast the spices and release their aromas. Add tomato paste or crushed tomatoes and stir well, allowing the sauce to thicken.
- Combine and Simmer: Return browned sausages to the pan. Pour in stock or water and bring to a gentle simmer. Let the curry cook until sausages are fully cooked and flavors meld, about 10-15 minutes. Add optional vegetables towards the end if using.
- Finish with Fresh Herbs: Just before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh coriander or parsley over the top for a bright, fresh contrast to the warm curry flavors.
Notes
- Use good-quality sausages for more flavor and juiciness.
- Brown sausages thoroughly and don’t rush to develop deeper flavors.
- Toast curry powder before adding liquids to intensify taste.
- Adjust sauce consistency by adding more or less stock/water.
- Add quick-cooking vegetables late in the process to maintain texture.
