Pork curries aren’t particularly common in restaurants and takeaways. This is typically because Muslims don’t eat pork. 

Pork curries aren’t common, which means that Indian sausage curry is also pretty rare, and this isn’t a traditional Indian curry. But that doesn’t mean that Sausage Curry isn’t incredibly yummy!

Curried sausages, like currywurst, are delicious, so why wouldn’t a curry with sausages also be fantastic?

This sausage curry recipe is gorgeous, super easy to make, filled with flavour and fantastic if you are on a budget. Which, of course, most of us now are!

It’s certainly a favourite family dinner for us. 

Why I Love Easy Sausage Curry

I adore this recipe for curry with sausage because:

• Kids love sausages, so it’s a kid-friendly curry recipe. 
• It’s a bit different but with really familiar things. 
• Sausage curry is delicious and warming. 
• It’s quick and easy to make. 
• It’s a one-pot dinner if you don’t count the sides!

Ingredients For Sausage Curry

This recipe for sausage curry is super simple, without lots of different herbs and spices that you might find in some homemade recipes. I use:

Sausages

Ghee – You can use butter olive oil or a calorie-controlled cooking spray instead. But if you’ve got ghee, use it. 

Red Onion

Garlic

Ginger – I cheat and use a ginger puree from Aldi. One teaspoon is about the same as an inch of grated root ginger. But puree is a game-changer when it comes to easy midweek meals. 

Red Pepper

Chilli Powder

Garam Masala – Swap for a tbsp curry powder if you don’t have garam masala.

Flour

Sugar

Chicken Stock 

Tinned Tomatoes

Spinach – This is optional but adds colour and nutrients.

I don’t add coconut milk, but you can try it or a splash of cream if you prefer a creamier curry. 

You’ll Also Need

I cook my sausage curry in my large cast iron Dutch oven. But you can use any large, non-stick, flameproof pan or dish. 

You’ll also need a chopping board and sharp knife to prepare your ingredients, a spatula or spoon to stir and a jug and whisk to mix the stock. 

How to Make Sausage Curry – Step-by-Step Instructions

Full, easy-to-follow instructions and quantities are available in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Step One

Heat a large, nonstick, flameproof pan or dish over medium heat on the hob. Add some ghee and melt.

Step Two

Add the sausages and cook for a few minutes, occasionally turning until lightly browned. You may find it easier to do this in batches. 

Once brown, remove from the pan and set to one side.

Step Three

Add a little more ghee if needed, and add the onions. Stir often for five minutes until soft. 

Step Four

Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often. If using garlic puree, you can move on to the next step straight after adding. 

Step Five 

Tip in the peppers and ginger puree and stir well. Cook for a further two minutes, stirring often. 

Step Six

Whisk together the stock, chilli powder, garam masala, flour and sugar in a jug.

Step Seven

Return the sausages to the cooking dish and pour over the stock mixture.

Step Eight

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and bring to a simmer.

Step Nine 

Reduce the temperature if necessary and cook on a low simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce has thickened.

Step Ten

Add the spinach and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Top Tips

The main tip really is to simmer slowly. If after 30 minutes your sauce is too watery, simmer for longer, or if you are in a rush mix one tablespoon of cornflour with a little water and stir through.

If at any point it’s too thick, add a cup of water.

Serving Suggestions

I serve my sausage curry like I serve all of my curries, with rice, garlic naan, and sometimes, a variety of Indian sides. Bhaji’s are my favourites!

If you want something different and love sausage and mash, you could serve this old-fashioned sausage curry with creamy mashed potato and extra veggies!

Variations

Sausages

The biggest variation to this recipe would be the kind of sausage you use. 

I tend to go for a classic pork sausage. But you could experiment with other kinds. Even something like beef sausages would work. If you use beef sausages, I recommend switching to a beef stock cube, too. 

Creamy Sausage Curry

Add a splash of cream or coconut milk for a creamier sauce. 

Spicy Sausage Curry

Make a spicy sausage curry with a pinch of chilli flakes or a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. 

Curry Powder

I’ve just Garam Masala, but you can switch to a mild curry powder if that’s what you’ve got. 

Leftovers

Leftover sausage curry can be reheated on the hob or in the microwave and served with rice or bread or on a jacket potato. 

Simmer on the hob for around 20 minutes, until the sausages are piping hot. Add more water if needed.

I don’t recommend saving leftover rice, though, so I’d make it fresh. 

Storage

Remove your leftover sausage curry from the cooking dish and place it on the side in a clean tub or bowl to cool. Don’t leave out for more than two hours. 

Then, cover or seal the tub and place it in the fridge for up to two days. 

Can I Freeze Sausage Curry?

Yes, sausage curry freezes well. 

To freeze, remove from the cooking pot and leave to cool quickly on the side in a clean, uncovered freezer-safe container. 

Once cool, seal with an airtight lid and freeze for up to two months. 

You can do this in individual portions or one large batch. Thaw fully in the fridge before reheating as above.
