An Introduction to Curried Sausages
Curried Sausages might not have been my top pick initially, but this recipe has transformed my view on this dish! It’s packed with flavour and perfectly balanced, making it an easy recipe that even the fussiest family members will enjoy. If your family is anything like mine (which includes two kids and a husband who often counts as a third), you’re always looking for meals that can please everyone with minimal effort. This recipe is a lifesaver!
Why Homemade is Better
Earlier, I used to rely on powdered packets to prepare curried sausages, but making it from scratch is a game-changer. The thing about cooking a recipe from scratch is that you know exactly what’s in your meal! So you get to avoid all the additives that let’s face it most the time you don’t even know how to pronounce.
Though I still use packets for certain things. My goal is to learn how to make things from scratch to provide the best options for my kids. Rising cost of living and the complex list of ingredients on food labels make homemade recipes a better choice.
A Recipe That Ticks All the Boxes
This curried sausage recipe is affordable and quick to prepare and it’s also loved by all. The sausages can be cooked separately so if someone isn’t keen on curry can have plain sausages while the rest can enjoy a flavourful curry. It’s a meal that requires minimal variations, saving you the hassle of cooking entirely different dishes to please everyone. Plus, a little tip from my kitchen to yours. – Hide the sausages while you’re cooking, as my family tends eat them when I’m not looking!
I sometimes use Nutra Organics beef bone broth instead of beef stock sometimes but the beef stock will add a deeper depth of flavour.
I have also substituted the tomato paste for 200g crushed tomatoes and it was delicious. Depending on what you have on hand either works great and each variation brings different depth of flavour.
