Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Spread the 450g frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, about 25-30 minutes, shaking halfway.

  2. Step 2

    While fries bake, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the 4 sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 120ml ketchup, 2 tbsp curry powder, 1 tbsp vinegar, 1 tsp honey, and 2 tbsp water until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer the cooked sausages to a cutting board and slice into 1cm thick rounds. Return the slices to the skillet and pour the sauce over them.

  5. Step 5

    Stir the sausages and sauce over medium heat until the sauce is bubbling and coats the sausage, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Serve the currywurst hot with the fries on the side. Sprinkle extra curry powder on top if you like.

  7. Step 7

    Enjoy immediately while hot and crispy.
