As a kid, cooked (almost burnt) sausages were one of my favourite things to eat. To this day I like them freshly cooked or a cold saussi with some good mustard is something I love to snack on. In fact I had never heard of curried sausages until I was married and my New Zealand born husband decided to cook them for me. It was his signature dish I was informed. Hilariously, it took him literally all day to make them, I am still not sure why! (And frankly I don't remember them being amazing!)
Aussie Curried Sausages have become a beloved staple in many Australian and New Zealand households, celebrated for their rich flavor and comforting appeal. Originating during the mid-20th century, this dish seamlessly blends British culinary traditions with Indian spices, reflecting Australia's diverse cultural influences.
As a budget-friendly and versatile meal, curried sausages quickly gained popularity, especially among busy families seeking delicious, hearty dinners. The recipe typically features juicy sausages simmered in a savory curry sauce, often accompanied by potatoes, carrots, and peas, making it a complete meal that’s both satisfying and easy to prepare.
Because we are a Thermomix recipe site of course, we have cooked the sausages in a frying pan to get that yummy sear, then added them to our Thermie cooked curry gravy. Over the years, curried sausage recipes have evolved with various regional twists, solidifying its place as a quintessential comfort food in Australian cuisine. I think if you take a look, you will find many sites that have a curried sausage recipe.
We used our own curry powder, but the best alternative that I like for this classic recipe is the Keens mild yellow curry powder.
