Instructions
- First, steam the pork sausages in a covered pot over medium heat until fully cooked, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the sausages are cooking, prepare the curry ketchup. In a small saucepan, heat the ketchup over medium heat.
- Add the curry powder, paprika, sugar, salt, and pepper to the ketchup, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
- Once the sausages are cooked, fry them in a pan over medium-high heat until they are browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Cut the browned sausages into bite-sized slices and generously drizzle with the warm curry ketchup.
- Serve the currywurst hot, ideally with a side of crispy fries or a chunk of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the curry ketchup.
- The sausages can also be grilled for a smokier flavor.
- For an authentic German street food experience, serve the Currywurst on a paper plate with a small wooden fork.
