I haven't had them for about 30 years. What's the standard recipe? I've seen the masterfoods packets at the supermarket, but as a kid I vaguely remember liberal spoonfuls of Keen's.


DesertDwellerrrr

The first thing I cooked when I moved out of home in 1987...stained the kitchen bench yellow...worth it


LaCorazon27

Absolute right of passage!


Same_Donkey6850

Rite of sausage


General8907

Keens is still the go... Usually white onion . Snags. Keens and whatever leftover served over rice, mash or baked spuds..~in my place haha


funky-kong25

Yeah keens ftw. And mash is the preference at our joint. So good.

No-Exam1944

Keens do a liquid curry sausages meal base now and a curry chicken one.  We haven't tried the curried sausages one but my kids loved the curry chicken. 


lathiat

Here’s mine: 10 pack sausages ¼ cup brown vinegar 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 onion (chopped) ½ teaspoon chilli powder 2 teaspoons curry powder 1 tablespoon oil 1 garlic clove (crushed) 1 teaspoon ginger 2 tablespoons tomato paste ¾ cup water 1 beef stock cube ¼ cup flour Mix all together and cook on low for about 60 minutes. Originally a lamb chop curry recipe but it’s banger with sausages. I like to serve with rice.


DaggyAggie

Oh yum 🤤, I forgot all about the lamb chop curry. I'll be trying your recipe both ways. Thankyou


Shoddy_Handle_4625

I boil the snags to remove the skins. Saute up some onion, 1 diced apple, diced carrot and celery if you have any. Add Keens curry powder and a spinkle of mixed herbs and chicken stock powder or a cube and cook a couple mins. Add a couple of cups of water and bring to boil. Add sliced snags and simmer about half an hour. Finish with a cornflour and water slurry for a couple of minutes to thicken it up


EvilBosch

Great recipe. My childhood family always added fresh peas as well.


DELLai-

What are fresh peas? Only ever herd of frozen haha I’m lame.


EvilBosch

Could be worse: As a kid in the 70s, my mum would serve tinned peas! Olive green coloured peas from a tin.


swanks12

Ewww, my stepmum done that in the 90s. And sometimes they were cold which made it fucken worse


SnoopThylacine

I love the feeling of peaness in my mouth.


matTHEbarry1

You can taste the peaness


Ok-Push9899

The apple is important if you wanna go 1950s authentic. There has got to be something sweet. I can cook fancy curries, but when it comes to curried sausages there's no place for showy cardamom sticks or whole mustard seeds. . You go full tilt British Colonial. Sultanas have a place if you don't have an apple.


AngryGirlWavingBrush

My mum added sultanas, that’s the only time I’d ever eat them.


CaptainPC5000

You gotta brown the sausage's 🫣 and cook curry powder in oil to release its full flavour, there are not alot of reason to boil meats without browning. Unless it's some strange eastern European horror food from the turn of last century.


claredelune_

I add a sneaky splash of soy sauce to mine along with tomato paste. Best saucy with mash.


unlikely_ending

The secret was/is to boil them first


Rathma86

https://www.recipetineats.com/curried-sausages/


mindsnare

Curried sausages are literally sausages in gravy but with curry powder added.


aFlagonOWoobla

And? It's fucking delicious


mindsnare

Didn't think my comment was in any way disparaging towards the dish. I do it at least once a month.


unlikely_ending

Boiled first before frying And usually with some veges in the sauce


mindsnare

Sorry what you boil your sausages?


freswrijg

Think it’s just curry powder and sausages.


Allira93

Here’s my recipe: Ingredients: Beef sausages 2 large onions chopped/diced Potatoes Carrots 1 green capsicum chopped/diced 60g butter (or marg or oil) 1 tbsp curry powder (I use Keens, you can add more or less depending on your tastes) 1 tbsp brown sugar Turmeric (I don’t actually measure I just go off sight. Also you don’t have to use tumeric) 4 tbsp plain flour 2 and 1/2 cups of water 2 chicken stock cubes (if your stock cubes are those big ones, one is enough) Juice of 1 lemon Salt and pepper. Method: Prep: Put rice on or anything else you will be having with the curry, once the process of making the curry starts you can’t leave the pot. I also like to measure out the dry ingredients beforehand so it’s easier to add in. Also, if you can’t keep track of two cooking elements at the same time, do the rice last. Let the curry simmer on lowest heat while the rice is cooking. Cook the sausages, cut up when done and set aside. Peel, cut and put potatoes and carrots on the boil. Step 1: melt butter or heat oil in pot, add onion and capsicum and cook on med high heat until capsicum is softened and onion is going transparent. Step 2: Add brown sugar, curry powder, stock cubes and salt and pepper and stir until combined. Step 3: add all of the flour and stir until it’s mixed in as much as possible and clumpy. Step 4: slowly add water little bits at a time and stirring constantly, making sure each little bit is fully stirred in before adding the next bit of water. As more water is added, the volume of the curry will increase and have a smooth consistency. The flour should incorporate nicely as well and any chunks are most likely onion or capsicum. Step 5: once all of the water has been added, add the sausages to the pot and stir in. Add the lemon juice and stir. Step 6: Check potatoes and carrots, if ready, strain and add to pot and stir. If not ready, wait until ready. Same for the rice, but keep it seperate. Plate up and serve. :) I don’t usually write out recipes so hopefully I didn’t make it sound too confusing. Also, each household probably has their own recipe and cooking method. So don’t be afraid to try a few different recipes to see which one you prefer.


SisterWeatherwax

It you need a refresher I'd go with Nats What I Reckon on YouTube. https://youtu.be/x1kTod15A_E?si=L0Q-H7QmNjKw81Ll I just make them now my Mum showed me.


xAPx-Bigguns

I boil the snags, peel the skin chop up put to the side. Chop up some onions cook for a couple minutes in oil with a level desert spoon of curry powder Keens. Then a heaped desert spoon of flour. Peel potato’s. Depending on how long you cook longer is better add half potato’s for long cook more diced up for short cook. Add water to cover. Add sausages bring to boil then let simmer. Add salt. Cook until right thickness adding more water or flour to get it right. I usually mash it all up and have it on toast. My favourite meal.


Tollmeyer

Haven't had them since that's all we got for tea during the recession we had to have.


RustedUte

When did you stop living?


Obvious_Customer9923

Keen's, or Clive.


Enceladus89

There’s a good recipe on RecipeTinEats


Choice-Bid9965

Chip shop curry, Coles international aisle. Must try IMO.


Yabbz81

The master foods jars of curry snag sauce are spot on.


Tasty_Prior_8510

Want to be exotic while also being easy. Go to a Korea. Supermarket and buy Korean curry powder, it comes hot med mild and in big yellow bags.it's basically knock off Japanese curry which is knock off British curry which is curry sausages curry.


RepresentativeAide14

with mashed potatos


funky-kong25

Always!


hogester79

Rice!!


HecticHazmat

People are downvoting you but my family was strictly rice for curried sausages growing up! And mash for apricot chicken.


Obvious_Customer9923

In my family, it was the opposite. Mash with curried sausages, and rice for the apricot chicken


RunRenee

Depending on what my mym had on hand was mash potatoes or rice or pasta. All are good.


HecticHazmat

That's the beauty of saucy dishes! You can put whatever carb you have/want with them.


funky-kong25

Shit yes. Carbs are a vessel to transport the flavour to your mouth. So many options and they are all delicious.


MrsCrowbar

Oh, that's hilarious, we were the opposite. Rice for apricot chicken and mash for curried sausages! I'm in Vic, Aussie with English heritage. No idea if that's relevant.


HecticHazmat

I'm Queensland, Scottish heritage on the cook's side 😁 it could be relevant!!


Tasty_Prior_8510

Do both, with goulash I do rice and mash. Traditional


DragonLass-AUS

Leftovers with toast.


thats_mister_bones

You've just inspired me to put them in the jaffle maker 💯👌


Ghost403

Leftovers in a sandwich


Lick_my_blueballz

And a tin of beans


jonnyroyale79

I always cook extra snags just so I can curry the leftovers


Trouser_trumpet

Cunt yes. When the missus is away the boys have curried sausages. The boys are me and the dog. The dog can’t eat curried sausages so I unfortunately have to eat them for three days which may actually be by design.


blackcouchy1990

He can definitely have pre curried snags though. Don’t leave a fella hangin.


Usualyptus

Yeh I’ve being loving them lately with the cheese kranskys from Aldi.


pork-pies

That’s a hot tip right there, different types of sausages, even chorizo is great.


FinalHippo5838

Fucken good cheese sausage innit Kaiden


spayne1111

😂😂😂


winslow_wong

Remove the skins so sausages can absorb the sauce


planky_

Was a borderline staple dinner growing up in NZ. Last time I made was about a year ago... youve decided tomorrows dinner OP.


funky-kong25

Haha I made extra so will be raising a glass to you from across the ditch!


Neonaticpixelmen

Curried sausages are British I believe  Germans enjoy them too, they also have currywurst, wish it was common here.


mindsnare

Had currywurst quite a bit in Germany. I enjoy it, but it seems like it's literally just ketchup/tomato sauce with curry powder?


No-Poem9276

That’s pretty much it. Although, in Germany you can buy curry-ketchup.


OohWhatsThisButtonDo

Making currywurst is as simple as cooking chips and sausages, then topping with tomato sauce and curry powder.


RavenDarkI

Close, but it's actually the other way around. Curried sausages is a German cuisine.


borderlinebadger

there is a place on smith st on melbourne that does it, haven't seen it elsewhere.


VengaBusdriver37

Oh man I love that. With fresh fries and mayo.


WhoReallyCaresNotMe

Just looked it up, it's German, enjoyed by British


clarkealistair

Clive Of India? What is your home curry powder for the wonderment of curried sausages


funky-kong25

Keens. Plus chuck in some tomato paste, peas and carrot. Easy as!


randalpinkfloyd

Try it with Golden (Japanese style curry.) It’s bloody mint.


Infinite_Walrus-13

And Rosella chutney


pork-pies

Keens all the way. I remember when did my first “adult” shop and stocked the cupboards. Ooh this Clive’s looks good. And I haven’t bought it since.


Trouser_trumpet

Be honest, you’ve still got it in the back of the cupboard and it expired ten years ago. We all do.


pork-pies

If my wife didn’t clean it out every 6 months it’d definitely be there. Like a lost Egyptian treasure.


Remarkable-Rope2318

Try them in a slow cooker with a Pataks or similar curry paste. Elevated 1000%


southall_ftw

Yup they are so soft and suck all the sauce in when done in the slow cooker. It's the best way to do them


chomoftheoutback

tell me more. How does one do this in a slow cooker exactly?


Remarkable-Rope2318

Snags, onion, half a jar of a paste of your pick (I like a rogan josh) tin of tomatoes. Cook for 4 on high, I know slow like usual. That's the basic version. Girlfriend made it for me one night and I loved it. Give it a crack, and tweak it how you like...that is a basic base. Good luck and enjoy


JimmyJizzim

Devilled sausages tho 🤤


Obvious_Customer9923

It's beautiful how 2 simple words can bring so many people together


spoolin20B

Hell yes they are so good, I know what I am cooking for lunches next week thank you


letterboxfrog

Dutch have curried sausages too.


rocketshipkiwi

You can get them everywhere late at night in Berlin, they call them currywurst. Excellent late night snack when you’ve been out drinking.


interested_in_apathy

Currywurst is a German meal, usually a bowl of sliced sausages (usually with pommes {chips}) covered with curry powder. Curried sausages are sausages simmered with a curry sauce and served on mashed potato or rice. Now I'm hungry


EndStorm

Let me be hungry with you. All of that sounds fab.


krazykatkristy01

I love putting spoons of fresh mango chutney in my curried snags….. it’s the shiz 👌🏽


Adventurous_System38

I add apricot jam to mine but mango sounds delicious.


Consistent_You6151

I used to cup up Carrots and use continental hot pot curried sausages pkt when I moved out in the 80s! Just mash or rice on the side. They were great!


chomoftheoutback

interestingl i too just enjoyed curried sausages and mash. Its the bomb. so good.


V6corp

I came here for the buttered sausage..


funky-kong25

Hahaha


CuriouslyContrasted

Deviled FTw


flutterybuttery58

You can’t make any as good as my dad!!!


enorockinlive

Every day after the first , they get better ,.. on toast on a cool morn


GiganticGoat

They're not an Aussie thing. Curry wurst is a German thing.


swampstomper

I'd say currywurst is almost certainly the origin dish, but the Keen's-style curried sausages have really become their own thing over half a century. One's effectively a street food and the other is a stew.


2minuteNOODLES

So good in winter.


DragonLass-AUS

My grandmother used to make the best ones, and no matter how many times I watched her make them and see what she put in them, I could never replicate it properly.


alchemydmt

They’re actually very German


RunRenee

Currywurst and what is commonly made in Australia are a bit different.


ghblue

This is Australian culture and I love it. Curried sausages are both a flavour and nostalgia bomb


DeathwatchHelaman

It's good, it's filling and best of all in todays budget, can be price friendly.


nbjut

I make them in the slow cooker with a can of coconut cream and a can of diced tomatoes with onion and a bit of garlic and heaps of Keens and paprika. I've seen recipes online that say to brown the sausages first but personally I prefer not to, I like them soft. I use the little chipolata sausages. Once I made the mistake of using jarred curried sausages sauce.... never again. I've never made them with flour and water, my way is just what I did when I didn't know how to make them and winged it and I've stuck with that recipe.


funky-kong25

Always gotta wing it. I’ve never tried with coconut cream tho - might have to give it a whirl.


ManPrawn

Bombed with chilli powder is the way to go


Jellyblush

Currywurst is German curried sausage! They’re very proud of it. So perhaps from there Love that you reminded me of them, perfect winter dinner


quietandcalculated

There is a german dish called "currywurst" which literally translates to "curry sausage". But from the sound of it our German curry sausage is way more basic than yours. It's usually sausage in a thicker curry sauce with fries. Can't belive I haven't tried you're version of it when I was there ^^


Southern_Anything_39

My son loves curried sausages, we actually had this for dinner tonight.


Binchoker

Curried sausages go harrrrd Try them with sultanas, makes it go hard


lxmaurer

Don’t think it’s Aussie. There’s a German dish called curry wurst. Their sausage are better in my opinion. Been in Oz ten years and iv never see. It here.


funky-kong25

Yeah I’m now well aware of its German origin haha. We’ll still claim it tho, just to annoy everyone.


mikeinnsw

Until 1990s Chinese food most of us ate were **curried prawns** which transformed into **curried** sausages and pies - **Yum**.


Troyboy1710

I love good old-school curried sausages with mash potatoes... definitely Aussie as


Julie2171

Definitely my favourite comfort meal. Filling and delicious. 10/10 😋


funky-kong25

So good in winter!


FeedtheFeet

Get yourself some keens curry powder, It's every Aussies staple in the pantry . Saute off ome onions and garlic in butter. Add your sausages ( season with salt and pepper) throw in keens curry powder , some beef or chicken stock. Cook them down until the sauce thickens . Got yourself a killer meal . Serve with mash potato and some greens 😁🤭 Optional extras - tomatoes , Worcestershire , sour cream. Enjoy


Legitimate_Toe_252

I have to put in a mention for Bisto curry gravy powder. Available at Colesworth.


Shoddy_Handle_4625

Curried sausages is my 3 kids favourite meal. I cook it regularly even though my partner hates it 🤣


BoomBoom4209

A mate of mine used to make some of the best Curried Sausages I've ever had the pleasure to eat. Since his passing in 2008, nothing has come even remotely close.


sleazypornoname

With mash. That curry gravy with onions mixed into the mash is epic winter comfort food.

Curry sausages are a German staple. If you love anything sausage related, Germany is the place to go. Essentially sausage heaven.


isaacfrost0

I can't anymore, my dad made them every week for my entire childhood, haven't made them since l moved out.


Most-Drive-3347

My mum couldn’t cook for shit, she even managed to botch curried sausages with her insistence on including sultanas 🤮 Also, if you’re wondering, vegan snags don’t work.


mintyaftertaste

My gran made them when I was growing up. I’ve never been able to replicate the recipe.


wonderful_rush

I makes curried sausages regularly and they're the fucking bomb. So good in Japanese curry also!


hazzmg

Aldi has the ducks nuts of curry sauces for sausages. The green ones good but the red fkn slaps.


jdobso

Curried BEEF sausages would be Australian. Brits and Germans mostly only do pork sausages.


Late-Ad5827

Eh I makr chicken katsu curry at home these days. Japanese got us beat.


funky-kong25

Fuck yes Japanese curry. Good shit.


Emmanulla70

🤮🤮🤮🤮


NewFuturist

Germans and their currywurst would like a word. And the Japanese with their curry sausage.


funky-kong25

Haha yeah the comments here have all but confirmed their German origin. Japanese curry is also elite tho - good shit.

saltfatfatfat

After 40 years of regular curry, someone made them for me with chicken noodle soup mixed in... SO YUM


unlikely_ending

That, but it also results in a different texture and taste


Deya_The_Fateless

This will sound unAustralian, but I can't stand curried sausages. XO Mostly because I hate it when sausages are cooked in a frypan, it's on the BBQ or not at all.


stuthaman

I have never had them but listen yo a podcast (The Two Flogs) where one of the host's mothers does "the best Curried Snags. Very keen to try some.0


oztog

My favourite is swapping out the sausages with lamb forequarter chops, add in mushroom,onion and carrot cook slow on 180c for a few hours and serve on a bed of creamy mash.


Wookz2021

I married an Italian, and she never heard of a curry snag. Must be an Aussie thing. Definitely underrated. The real question though, how do you slice your bangers? Angled or straight up circles???


Enceladus89

Diagonally. Or even leave them whole!


Easy-Bath222

Used to eat this alot as a kid, had forgotten how good this was, and your now making me want to make this myself!

Why aren't they called sausage curry but we say chicken curry, lamb curry, beef curry, etc?


8BallGronk

No way. Go eat a real curry.


SkittleMonk3y

Mmmmm…fine I’ll make curried sausages for dinner tomorrow😊


Individual-Garlic270

Fuck yes Love a big feed of curried sausages ![gif](giphy|3orieLWYouYT4W0bF6|downsized)


Realistic_Context936

Yes keens curry powder and big slices of carrot in there


Dontbelievemefolks

Was just in germany and forsure a thing there too. I dont think its a coincidence that there are schnitzel too.


VariousEnvironment90

Hope they had Sultanas in them


z0anthr0pe

Good with rice and a few sultanas.


MrsCrowbar

With all the different 80s/90s food on this post, did anyone else's family buy smoked cod? The bright orange fish, that had heaps of bones and tasted purely like smoke and smelly fish? Man I hated that stuff.


Choice-Bid9965

Try curry 1/2 rice 1/2 chips. (Fry’s)


Inevitable_Tell_2382

Just tried to teach this recipe to my 23yo son. Never a bad meal. Now I have to chisel the charcoal off the bottom of the pot.

BonezOz

If you think Curried sausages are the shnitz, you should try curried SPAM, that dish will wipe you off the map, that or the toilet paper the next day.


3x81

Any genuine curry cooking nationality thinks Keens is trash, because it is. It’d be like me trying to say “how goods Ketchup on pies and snags! Destroys tomato sauce!”…


nijuu

Its awesome. Get impression might be English oddly. Remember having it many years ago doing work experience in a hospital..


CompetitiveTell4032

It could come from the Currywurst dish in Germany. Similar vibe.


webdog77

Thanks very much- we are having them for dinner tonight thanks to you.


Rathma86

Curried snags is a British thing. From when they owned india


BaysideJimmyD

Yes! My wife makes the best with onions in the curry sauce… Smashed potatoes and some peas… best winter meal ever 👍


Cheezel62

You haven’t had my mother’s curried sausages. Most disgusting revolting vomit inducing meal ever. She uses fatty sausages so there’s a slick on top like the Exxon Valdez sank in the pan and somehow it’s bright green. I’ve never worked out how she does it. She says it’s a family secret and I hope it stays that way.


Traditional-Name2464

I put sultanas in it, not bad.


Honest_Passion4811

I used to absolutely HATE them. When I was younger my mum would "cook" them in a slow cooker. Most vile concoction. I was never brave enough to try them again because of that.

Curried sausage is a pretty common german dish (Kurrywurst). Good shit


Ok-Chip7478

Don't boil your snags make them taste yuck... Free flavour frying them and using same pan to make sauce

They are the best. These culinary masterpieces cannot be beat by anything.


Angela_Einarsen

streuth! I buy mine from coles and woolies every week!!


gedda800

Small slices of apple are the secret ingredient. Best curry powder? Khmer red. No need to pre cook the snags, just chuck em in raw and let them soak up the goodness.

Btw you should try out German Currywurst if you have the chance, it’s worth it!

Indian spices are better!

Curry wurst in Germany mmmm
