The ultimate retro recipe for sausages – curried Sausages. It’s the top 80’s old-fashioned recipe – Curried Sausages!
Curried Sausages
As retro as bell bottoms, pants are curried sausages. Flares are slowly making a comeback ….., as fashion-savvy people are aware.
Curried sausages have never gone out of style, in my opinion!!
If you are unsure about this retro favorite, consider this: Curry Sausages really are just sausages in gravy with a curry flavor.
If you enjoy these three things, then this recipe is for you!
What You Need
This recipe is not very complicated. It’s basically the same as Sausages and Gravy.
Some old recipes call for water to be used in place of broth or stock when making curried sausages, but I find that it lacks flavor.
Some older recipes suggest a boiled sausage instead of one browned. This made me cry!?
How To Make It
Curried Sausages are a quick and easy dinner. Browning the sausages takes about 6-8 minutes. Making the curried sausage gravy takes only 5 minutes!
- Brown samosas. Remove and chop into pieces if desired.
- saute onions and garlic — an essential flavor base for a simple sauce
- Cook off curry powder. This little extra step brings out the curry flavor, again, a necessary action for a sauce. This is what I do in my chicken curry, curried rice, and other simple recipes.
- Cook off the flour. This will thicken the gravy.
- While mixing, add the chicken stock in small amounts.
- Add sausages, peas and carrots.
- let the sauce simmer for a couple of minutes- it will thicken to a gravy consistency
- Serve over rice, noodles, or bread.
Curry Sausages are NOT traditional Indian curries, just in case you didn’t notice! The curry flavor may not be as complex or strong as the Indian favorites Chicken Tikka masala and butter chicken, but it is quicker and easier to prepare.
The curry gravy is plenty. I haven’t added too many vegetables, but you can. Try it with a simple vinaigrette or a salad of leafy greens and French dressing. Nagi x
