- Even though I have only added potatoes, you can add whatever veggies you like and have available. Some veggies that will taste great in this curry are carrots, bell peppers, peas, mushrooms, and cauliflower.
- I haven’t used any store-bought curry powder since most Indian kitchens already have powdered spices ready. However, you can use a curry powder if you like.

Hi Richa,
Thank you for this super easy recipe. Especially when you are out of veggies. And, ‘what for dinner’ is a BIG question?
I never thought that sausage curry would taste this amazing and deli.
The fennel seeds worked wonders in this curry.
I AM A FAN! Thank you, Richa for all that you do to make cooking an experimental yet fun experience.
This looks delicious. What kind of sausage do you use? Would hot Italian work?
Hey Sam! This recipe is already quite spicy, so I would recommend using any sausage with less heat.
How do you heat oil, then add sausages and then add water to it?.. I’m confused at the first step..
Hey Maya, its just as the instructions say. Add oil in a pot or pan and add sausages and water. As the water evaporates the sausages cook and caramelise which gives them a nice brown sear on all sides. I hope that makes it clearer.
