Equipment

  • Grill or frying pan
  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bratwursts (or your choice of sausage)
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar

  • Drizzle the curry ketchup sauce generously over the sliced sausages.
  • Serve hot, accompanied by fries or a bread roll.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spice level of the curry ketchup by adding more curry powder or chili flakes if desired.
