Nothing beats the comfort of basic ingredients transformed into something special. This Curried Sausages dish brings me back to watching my grandma work her magic in the kitchen, filling every corner with wonderful smells. When plump sausages swim in that spicy curry gravy, you get a wallet-friendly dinner my family begs for time and again.
The Charm of Uncomplicated Meals
My kitchen schedule gets crazy but this dish never lets me down. I adore how everyday cabinet items turn into something remarkable. Cooking everything in one pan cuts down on washing up, and that's always great. Whenever my children invite friends over, I cook twice as much since it stores so well for those crazy midweek suppers.
Must-Have Components
- Sausages: 1 lb (500g), from beef, pork, chicken, or plant-based options. Go for premium links to enjoy better taste and consistency.
- Onions: 1 medium, cut into slices. Any variety works fine—brown, white, or red.
- Carrots: 2 medium, skinned and sliced. They bring nice sweetness and bite.
- Frozen Veggies: 1 cup combined peas and corn. Quick and adaptable.
- Curry Powder: 2 tablespoons. Pick your favorite mix depending on how hot you want it.
- Broth: 2 cups (500ml), beef, chicken, or veggie. This creates your curry sauce foundation.
- Flour: 2 tablespoons, all-purpose. Makes the sauce thick; swap with cornstarch if you're avoiding gluten.
Step Into The Cooking Process
- Brown the Sausages
- Using a spacious skillet, brown the sausages over medium flame until color develops all around. Take them out and put aside.
- Cook the Onions and Veggies
- Using the same skillet, toss in sliced onions and carrots. Cook until soft, roughly 5 minutes. Mix in the frozen peas and corn.
- Mix in the Curry Powder
- Dust curry powder over your vegetables and stir thoroughly. Let it cook 1–2 minutes to wake up those spices.
- Create the Sauce
- Scatter flour across everything and blend it in. Pour broth in slowly, constantly stirring to avoid clumps, until your sauce looks smooth and thick.
- Finish the Sausages
- Put sausages back into the pan, cover them with your curry sauce, and let everything bubble gently for 10–12 minutes until hot and flavors come together.
Notes From My Personal Experience
After making this dish countless times, I've tried some terrific twists. Just days ago I added chopped apple which brought amazing sweetness. When my sister drops by I throw in extra cayenne because she can't get enough spice. For fancy gatherings a little cream makes the sauce incredibly rich.

Pairing Ideas From My Home
This curry tastes amazing poured over fluffy mashed potatoes in my go-to dish. My partner enjoys his with steamed rice while our children love soaking up the sauce with chunks of fresh bread. Some evenings we eat it alongside crispy roasted potatoes when we're craving extra warmth.
Practical Tips
I often spend Sunday afternoons in my kitchen whipping up twice as much curry. I split it between my storage containers and stick them in the freezer. They stay good for 3 months though we usually finish them much sooner. Just move one to the fridge overnight and your next meal is practically ready.
