Kitchen know-how

Tips for Currywurst with chips

Roast curry powder briefly in the base

Heat the curry powder only about 20 seconds with tomato paste and onion. Longer roasting makes the spices bitter, while short heating opens their aroma.

Keep the sauce open

Let the tomato sauce simmer without a lid until it is thick enough to stick to the sausage slices. Only then finely balance sweetness, acidity and chilli.

Sausage separately strong browning

Fry the bratwurst all around before it is cut. So it remains juicy inside and receives those distinct roasted aromas that fit the sweet-leaved sauce.

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Add half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper and some smoked paprika to the sauce. Sprinkle fresh chilli until served.

Boil some tablespoons of apple juice and two finely pureed apricots with tomatoes. Reduce the honey so that the sauce does not become too sweet.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Currywurst with chips

Depending on the region, a fine brothwurst is used without the intestines or a fried bratwurst. For this recipe, a juicy, not too strongly seasoned bratwurst is suitable.

The sauce can be boiled two to three days before and stored refrigerated. Add some water and season with curry powder and vinegar.

Tomatoes and honey need a clear antipole of apple vinegar, salt and chilli. Add these components in small quantities and taste the sauce in between.

Cook French fries only when sausage and sauce are almost ready. Do not cover after baking or frying, immediately salt and serve separately from the sauce.
