Curried Sausages is a comforting, old-fashioned dish that brings together simple ingredients with bold flavors. This hearty meal features sausages simmered in a rich, mildly spiced curry sauce loaded with onions, carrots, and peas. It is the kind of dish that feels like a warm hug on a cold day and is popular in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK as a family favorite.
The magic of Curried Sausages comes from the balance of savory sausage flavors with the warmth of curry powder. The sauce is usually made with a combination of stock, a touch of flour for thickening, and sometimes a splash of cream or milk to add richness. The curry flavor is mild and comforting rather than overpowering, making it suitable for both kids and adults.
One of the best things about this dish is its versatility. You can use any type of sausage you like, from beef and pork to chicken or plant-based alternatives. The vegetables are just as flexible, carrots, peas, green beans, or potatoes all work beautifully. Some recipes even add apple slices for a subtle sweetness that complements the savory curry sauce.
Curried Sausages is also an incredibly budget-friendly and easy meal to prepare. It requires minimal prep, cooks in one pan, and is ready in about 30 minutes. Serve it over mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or buttered noodles to soak up all that delicious sauce.
The flavors are comforting, familiar, and satisfying. The combination of juicy sausages with creamy, savory curry gravy makes it a hit at any dinner table. Whether you are making it for a quick family meal or prepping leftovers for the next day, Curried Sausages is the kind of dish that always delivers. It is simple, filling, and packed with flavor, proving that sometimes the most humble recipes are the most loved

Simple recipe but sooo good! My kids loved it. Will make again!
I don’t trust recipes with coconut. They always turn out bad. Sorry.
Wow! Just wow!!! I never thought sausages could taste this good. This is a whole new level!
I totally agree! This recipe is a game-changer. I never knew curries could be so versatile!
Really? I don’t know, sausages and curry seem like a weird mix to me. Anyone else feel that way?
Not gonna lie, this sounds weird to me—sausages with coconut milk? I tried it anyway and it wasn’t terrible, just… different. My kids didn’t love it.
Not convinced. Coconut milk makes it sweet-ish and the sausages are already rich. I tried something similar once and it tasted off. Maybe use cream instead? Or less curry?
I get what you mean—coconut milk in savory stuff always feels a little “wrong” at first 😅 But I’ve found the curry powder + tomato paste kind of balances it out. If your kids didn’t like it, maybe add a touch less coconut milk next time?
Too much curry for me. I’m not a fan of spicy stuff! Maybe I’ll use half as much next time.
This recipe is a game changer! The curry flavor is just perfect. My kids loved it!
I totally agree! This curry recipe is so easy and delicious. My kids devoured it too. Thanks for sharing!
Looks good, but my kids are picky eaters. Not sure if they would like it. Any alternatives to the coconut milk?
Didn’t like it. Sausages were mushy. What did I do wrong?
I tried making these but it turned out too salty for my taste. Maybe I added too much broth?
Curried sausages? Sounds weird but I gave it a shot. Not bad, I guess. 🤷♂️
Honestly, curried sausages sound amazing! I never thought of that combo. Gotta try it! 😍
This recipe is amazing! The coconut milk makes it so creamy. Definitely a keeper!
Coconut milk in curry? That’s a bit weird. I thought it was just for desserts.🤔
I can’t believe how good this turned out! I’ve never liked coconut milk before, but you can barely taste it. Definitely making it again!
This recipe is AMAZING! The flavor is off the charts. Definitely a keeper!
I added some bell peppers for color and it was delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
I made this for dinner last night and the whole family ate it up! Will make again.
I used beef sausages and it came out super rich. The simmer time of about 20 minutes was right—sausages got really flavorful. Could use a little more salt though; I had to bump it.
I tried it but the curry was too strong for my taste. Maybe less next time.
Eh, I tried it but the coconut milk was too much for me. Maybe just use a bit?
I burnt mine… 😅 Followed all steps but idk what went wrong.
I’m not sure about the curry powder amount. 2 tbsp felt like a lot for my taste. Still, the flavor was nice once I added more coconut milk.
I followed the recipe but it didn’t thicken up. What did I do wrong? I guess I need to try again.
Did you add the cornstarch slurry at the end? That’s what helps it thicken up. Maybe try again and make sure it bubbles a bit after adding it!
Why would you put coconut milk in a curry? That seems wrong to me. I’ll stick to traditional methods.
Coconut milk adds a nice creaminess and flavor to the curry! Traditional methods are great, but trying new things can be fun too!
Nah, never heard of coconut milk in curry. Seems strange to me. Curry should be spicy not sweet!
I doubt this will taste that great… curry and sausages? Sounds weird.
Yum! 😋
But curry with sausages? That’s kinda weird, isn’t it?
Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try this recipe. 😍
Soo good!!! 🤤 Just used what I had and it turned out delicious! 10/10 would make again.
I totally agree! This recipe is a treasure! 😍
Curried sausages? Sounds weird but I gave it a shot. Not bad, but I wouldn’t do it often.
This is good, but I’d say it’s more like a curry-ish gravy than a true curry. Still delicious. I served it over rice and it soaked up the sauce perfectly.
Totally get what you mean—this is more of a curried gravy than a full-on curry. But soaked into rice? That’s exactly the best use for it 😄
This dish is amazing! I modified with chicken sausages and it was still outstanding. My kids devoured it!
Really? I think sausage is kinda gross with curry. How did yours not taste weird?
I’m glad to hear you liked it! Chicken sausages are a fantastic twist. My kids loved it too! 😊
OMG! Sooo good! I used chicken sausages instead and it was delish! 🥳
Yum! I used chicken sausage instead, and it turned out great!
Meh. I didn’t really get the “curried” flavor—more like a mild creamy stew. Maybe I used too low curry? Next time I’ll toast the spices longer.
Totally hear you—sometimes curry powder can end up tasting more “creamy” than actually curried if it’s not properly bloomed. Toasting it a bit longer (and maybe using a fresher/stronger blend) should help.
I don’t like onions so I skipped them. Still turned out alright, but might have been better with them.
Onions really do add a lot of flavor, but I’m glad it still turned out alright for you! Maybe next time give them a chance!
So good!!!
I dunno… just doesn’t sound right with coconut milk and curry. My grandma used something else.
Absolutely love this recipe! The flavors are just perfect! 🥰
My kids loved this! Will def recommend this to my friends.
Really tasty, but I had to use a bit more curry powder than the recipe says. Also 20 minutes simmer felt a little long for my sausages (they got a bit too soft).
Can u use beef broth instead of veg broth? Will it make difference?
Pretty tasty, but I think 20 minutes is a little long for smaller sausages. Mine got slightly too firm. Sauce was great though—thick and flavorful.
Could have used more seasoning—mine was kinda bland until I added extra salt and black pepper. Also curry powder brands vary a lot, so adjust accordingly.
Totally agree—mine needed a lot more salt too. I also doubled the black pepper and it came out way better. Curry powder brands really do change everything.
I’m skeptical about curry powder + tomato paste together, but I tried it anyway. It actually works—more depth than I expected. The sausages stayed juicy too. Great weeknight meal.
Does anyone really use cornstarch? I just let mine cook down. Seems easier.
I used to skip cornstarch too, but it really helps thicken sauces perfectly! You should give it a try.
Not my thing. The tomato paste reads a bit too strong against the coconut for me. I’d try less tomato next time or add a touch of sugar.
Can I use chicken sausages? Or do I HAVE to use pork? 🤔
Yeah, you can totally use chicken sausages! They’ll taste great in there, just adjust the cooking time a bit if they’re thinner than pork. 🙌
