Kitchen know-how

Tips for Currywurst with chips

Roast curry powder briefly in the base

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

Sauce open focus

Simmer the tomato sauce without the lid until it is thick enough to stick to the sausage slices. Then, balance sweetness, acidity and chilli finely.

Brown sausage separately

Fry the sausage all around before cutting it. This way it remains juicy inside and gets those distinct roasted flavours that go well with the sweet and sour sauce.

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Add half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper and some smoked paprika to the sauce. Sprinkle fresh chilli pepper on top when serving.

Boil a few tablespoons of apple juice and two finely mashed apricots with the tomatoes. Reduce the honey so that the sauce is not too sweet.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Currywurst with chips

Depending on the region, a fine casually-cooked sausage or a fried bratwurst is used. A juicy, not too spicy bratwurst is suitable for this recipe.

The sauce can be cooked two to three days before and stored chilled. When heated, add a little water and season the curry powder and vinegar to taste fresh again.

Tomato and honey need a clear antithesis of apple cider vinegar, salt and chilli. Add small amounts of these components and taste the sauce in between.

Cook the chips until they are almost ready, then cover them with salt and serve separately from the sauce after baking or deep-frying.
