- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the sausages until browned and cooked through, turning regularly. Set the sausages aside on a separate place then cut into smaller pieces.
- Add the thinly sliced onion to the frying pan (with the leftover oil from the sausages). Cook, stirring regularly, until softened. Add the curry powder and plain flour and cook, while stirring, for 30 seconds.
- Slowly pour in the chicken stock liquid (while stirring). Bring to a simmer.
- Return the sausages to the pan. Add the carrots, sugar and peas. Season with salt and pepper.Bring to a simmer for 3-4 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
- Pour in the cream (optional) and stir through.
- Serve with your choice of mashed potato, pasta or rice and steamed vegetables.
Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS:
- Cooking off the curry powder in the oil in the pan, helps to develop the curried flavour best, and the flour thickens the sauce.
- Some recipes boil the sausages first, but frying them definitely adds a more savoury, rich taste to the dish!
- Whether you cut the sausages up, or leave them whole is your own preference.
- You can use either thick or thin sausages, however if using thick sausages, then allow more time for them to be cooked through.
- Adding a swirl of cream towards the end of cooking adds to the creaminess of the sauce, and lowers the heat level of the curry, but this is optional.
- You can 'upmarket' this recipe by using gourmet flavoured sausages or even Italian sausages.
- Curried sausages are traditionally served on a bed of creamy mashed potato or rice, but you can also serve with pasta.
- Store - curried sausages in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge.
- Freeze - curried sausages for up to 3 months, thaw in the fridge before reheating. Or freeze individual serves of curried sausages and mash.
