Sausages and Protein
- 400g sausages (pork, beef, chicken, or plant-based)
Aromatics
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
Spices and Sauce
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste or 150ml tomato sauce
Liquids and Cooking Aids
- 250ml chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Prepare the Sausages: Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces or leave whole based on preference. Brown them in a large pan over medium heat with a little oil until golden and cooked through to lock in juices and build flavor.
- Sauté Aromatics: Using the same pan, add chopped onions, minced garlic, and ginger. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant, forming the base for the curry sauce.
- Add the Curry Powder: Sprinkle in curry powder and stir well to coat the aromatics evenly. Toast for 1-2 minutes to release the spices’ essential oils and deepen flavor.
- Build the Sauce: Stir in tomato paste or sauce, then pour in chicken or vegetable stock. Mix thoroughly, scraping the pan bottom to lift any flavorful bits. Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens and flavors meld.
- Combine and Warm Through: Return the browned sausages to the pan. Stir to coat evenly and cook together for another 5 minutes so sausages absorb the curry sauce.
Notes
- Choose quality sausages for richer flavor.
- Don’t rush sautéing—the onions and spices need time to develop deep flavors.
- Adjust sauce consistency by adding stock or simmering longer.
- Taste and balance flavors with salt, pepper, sugar, or lemon juice as needed.
- Use fresh curry powder or spices to enhance taste.
- Optional: Add coconut milk or cream during sauce stage for a creamy texture.
