Anglo-Indian Sausage Curry

You need the patties from the preceding recipe and the same pan used for browning them with its leftover oil. This is in fact a continuation of the last recipe and makes for a quick curry, good with rice, bread, and also with fried eggs and toast! So, make the preceding recipe, remove the patties from the frying pan with a slotted spatula, put them on a plate, and proceed immediately to make the curry sauce. For a simple meal, serve with a rice dish and Corn with Aromatic Seasonings.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 3¿4

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, crushed to a pulp
4 medium tomatoes, grated coarsely, (page 289), or peeled and then finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Lots of freshly ground black pepper
4–5 fresh hot green chilies (such as bird’s-eye), slit halfway up, starting at the bottom end

Preparation

  1. Pour the oil into the same pan in which the sausage patties were fried and set on medium-high heat. When hot, put in the onions. Stir and fry the onions until they are lightly browned. Add the ginger and garlic. Stir for a minute. Put in the tomatoes and turmeric. Stir and cook on medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and caramelized a bit. Now add 1 cup water and the salt, pepper, and green chilies. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cover, turn heat to low, and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Put the sausage patties back into the pan, in a single layer if possible, spoon the sauce over them, cover, and heat them through.
