Spicy currywurst with homemade curry sauce: Berlin sausage with fries or a roll

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

1. Sauté the onion

   5 min

   Finely chop the onion and sauté it in the oil in a small saucepan until translucent.

2. Cook the sauce

   20 min

   Add the tomato paste, curry powder, and paprika and cook, stirring, for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the tomato puree, honey, and vinegar, add a pinch of ground chili, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and, if you prefer a smooth sauce, blend with an immersion blender.

3. Pan-fry the sausages

   10 min

   Meanwhile, pan-fry the sausages in the oil for 8–10 minutes, turning until golden brown on all sides.

4. Serve

   5 min

   Cut the sausages into thick rounds, pour the hot sauce over them, and sprinkle with curry powder. Serve with a roll or fries.

Tip: The sauce keeps in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for 5 days. Add more ground chili for a spicier sauce or an extra tablespoon of honey for a sweeter one.
