Name of Recipe:Curried Sausages - converted from a recipe from Best Recipes No. 3864
Number of People: 4 serves
Ingredients:
600-750g thin sausages
150 - 300g basmati rice, rinsed thoroughly
900g boiling water
vegies of choice, to fill the varoma tray - I used thinly sliced carrots & broccoli
1 onion, cut into quarters
1 apple, Granny Smith or Golden Delicious - cored and cut into 4
20g butter or oil
1 - 2 tspns curry powder
2 rounded tblspns plain flour
2 tspns brown sugar
375mls beef stock (use 300mls if you want a thicker curry)
2 tspns mango chutney
2 teaspns sultanas
1 tspn apricot jam
150g tomato, diced
1 tblspn dessicated coconut
125 mls milk (use 100mls if you want a thicker curry)
Pepper to taste
Preparation:
Pour the boiling water into the TM bowl, insert the steaming basket & rice, place the sausages into the varoma dish, place the prepared vegies onto the tray and place into position.
Cook for 16 minutes on Varoma temperature Speed 3.
Whilst this is happening prepare the ingredients for the sauce. Prepare the vegies - set aside. Mix the curry powder, plain flour and brown sugar together in a bowl and set aside. Place all the remaining ingredients into a bowl and set aside.
By now the sausages etc will be cooked. Set the sausages aside to cool and place the rice and vegies in the thermosaver. Clean and dry the bowl.
Chop the onion and apple 3 seconds on speed 5.
Add the butter and saute 5 mins 100o C on reverse, speed 1.
Add the curry powder, flour and sugar mixture. Cook 5 mins 100o C on reverse speed 1.
Peel the cooled sausages and cut into 4cm - 5cm lengths. Set aside.
*Add the remaining ingredients (not the sausages) to the bowl and cook for 5 mins 100o C on reverse, speed 1 with MC off.
Add sausages and cook 5 mins reverse 100o C soft speed.
Tips/Hints:
Use as little or as much curry powder to your preference. I used 2 tspns but found it a bit strong for me DH loved it though.
You may want to check the rice & vegies after 13 minutes and if cooked, remove that to the thermosaver & continue on with the cooking of the sausages.
*If you just under cook the vegies, you can add them to the curry here rather than serving separately. I prefer it this way.
members' comments
CP - DD made this last night and it was very flavoursome. Tasty family dish with the sossies, tomato, and curry. Good all rounder and I can see we will be having this a lot in the future. Thanks JD. We added a few more sossies (as the two males in our family have arguments over portion sizes).
Chelsea - I am pleased to report it was extremely tasty and DH declared it was the best curried snags he had ever tasted!!! I modified it slightly by using 1/2 brown rice (I started cooking this 15 minutes earlier with 1200g water), rapadura, spelt flour and relish instead of mango chutney. I also left the onion and apple quite chunky and chopped them more when I added the tomatoes later in the recipe. I was too lazy to dice the toms by hand. I steamed carrot, capsicum and zucchini in the varoma and my sausages were lovely pork ones (real meat) that my butcher makes. Yummy!!! Thanks for another great recipe JD!!!
VHJ - really enjoyed it. I substituted potatoes for rice and mashed them in the thermoserver. It is very quick and tasty JD thank you for the recipe.
tasbell - loved it!!! This was the first time I had made curried sausages from scratch (usually use the continental packet one).
I did not have apricot jam so just added more mango chutney and it was a lovely sweet curry taste. Is def on a favourite list now.
johnro - oh so tasty and full of flavour - so a very definite will make again!. I didn't peel the sausages (began this task but it was painful!!!!!), but this was not a problem. Thanks JD for the recipe post. S
rubyslippers - I loved it! The children weren't really into it, but I'm sure they'll come around! I like my sauce a bit thicker so next time I might add more flour or less liquid. Other than that it was the best I've ever tasted!
atpembertn - DELICIOUS!! made this for myself and two kids. I Loved the combination of the mango chutney, apricot jam, sultanas and coconut. So yummy! This was my first at steaming sausages and I think they taste great - must be healthier too! ThankYou!!
maddy - Yummy Judy. I did omit the sultana's (My Mother is to blame for why I don't put sultana's in a savoury dish) and just used fruit chutney, a combination of beef and chorizo sausage, yellow & red capsicum and celery. We all enjoyed it.
KarenH - Made these for visitors and they were very popular - especially with the teenagers. I took your suggestion Judy and under cooked the veg and then added it to the curry sauce with the sausages. Yummm.
23lyndall - This was very nice. I used pork sausages which I did cook for several minutes longer. The whole family loved the meal. Well done!
Thermomix Lover - thanks so much judydawn for a fantastic recipe. I'm not a lover of sausages but I will say that our local butcher does one I do like and I can say that the money is now in my pocket as you have given me his secret recipe. All I can say is I'm absolutely pleased that your recipe was so easy to follow and my meal turned out to be a hit with the whole family, it was perfect in every way.
AinslieDR - Made this last night with leftover BBQ sausages which I added towards end. I put it in oven to thicken and cook a bit more while I cooked the mashed potato and broccoli. Very nice recipe, it will be put in my recipe folder!
jakodai - it was really nice. I made it using the quantities given and I think it would have been better had I used the quantities for the thicker sauce, I'll do that next time. I also served it with mashed potatoes. I used to make the 'devilled sausages' using the maggi sachet mix and was looking for an alternative, and I think this is it!
curly66 - used chicken and IT WAS FANTASTIC....they loved it and so did I......awesome recipe... many many thanks... will absolutely make it again. I used the initially recommended quantities of liquid but 2 hugely heaped tablespoons of flour and it was a fabulous sauce, not too thick but just thick enough
mab19 - these are the nicest curried sausages I have ever had. Will have some for dinner tonight and the rest in the freezer.
suzanne - We had this for dinner since DH last night cooked way too many sausages when we had our BBQ, it was delicious and will make it again, thanks Judy.
KarenH - Made this today with left over cooked sausages, so I just made the curry and sauce, and didn't steam the rice and veggies. It was so very easy and totally delicious! Thanks Judy - another family favourite.
Wonder - I added sliced carrot to the sauce and cooked a little longer before adding in the sausages. We really enjoyed it although next time I think I'll leave out the tomato as I'm not a big fan of cooked tomato and I don't think it added much.
-
JD, this looks great. Very good instructions. How about frankfurts?
-
Thanks Chookie. Don't see why you couldn't use frankfurts, skip the steaming of them and just add them for the last 5 mins.
-
Thanks JD, you are great at converting the old favs. :-* :-* :-* Good to hear the testing/tasting panel approves ;)
-
Thanks JD haven't had a curried sausage in many a year. I will have to make some for DH as he is a sausage tragic. Of course I will use my NEW CURRY POWDER FROM THE INDIAN COOKBOOK Yeah!
Gretch
-
Thanks Judy. We don't have sausages very often but I think I'll give this a go.
-
Love curried sausages in winter JD. thanks for converting a family favourite- and Thermomixer is correct- you really are fantastic at converting the old favourites. Thank you :-* :-* :-*
-
My pleasure guys - sometimes DH's just want plain old simple food.
-
This recipe has come at a perfect time JD. My DH came home from work one afternoon last week complaining that his workmate was having sausages for dinner (my DH loves snags) and we hardly have them since we bought Thermie. I did point out that his workmate would probably prefer our dinner (steamed chicken parcels with a sweet chilli dipping sauce), but he wasn't convinced. He will LOVE these!!! ;D
-
Yum, thank you.
-
JD you always come up with the good old family favourites!
At demo's I often refer to some of your conversions when people ask if they can eat the same old food again ;)
-
I wondered why my ears have been burning ILB ;) ;) We must keep these old favourites going to pass on down to the younger generation - comfort food is always welcomed.
-
absolutely! :-*
-
DD made this last night for tea, and it was very flavoursome. Tasty family dish with the sossies, tomato, and curry. Good all rounder and I can see we will be having this a lot in the future. Thanks JD :-* We added a few more sossies (as the two males in our family have arguments over portion sizes).
-
Glad your family liked this recipe CP63.

I made this for our dinner tonight. I have to admit as I was stacking the washing-up in the sink after plating up (TMX, varoma, thermoserve, rice basket and assorted bowls and spoons) I decided the dish would need to be very tasty to enter the "make again" folder.
I am pleased to report it was extremely tasty and DH declared it was the best curried snags he had ever tasted!!! I modified it slightly by using 1/2 brown rice (I started cooking this 15 minutes earlier with 1200g water), rapadura, spelt flour and relish instead of mango chutney. I also left the onion and apple quite chunky and chopped them more when I added the tomatoes later in the recipe. I was too lazy to dice the toms by hand ;). I steamed carrot, capsicum and zucchini in the varoma and my sausages were lovely pork ones (real meat) that my butcher makes. Yummy!!!
Thanks for another great recipe JD!!! :-* :-* :-*
-
That's great to hear Chelsea, thanks for the compliment (and your DH's too). I am amazed at the response to this recipe as I don't particularly like sausages myself and only did it to satisfy a craving my DH has from time to time. Men and their snags aye :-)) :-)) - give me a chicken fillet, pork fillet or fillet steak anytime ;) ;)
-
We added a few more sossies (as the two males in our family have arguments over portion sizes).
I remembered this post last night and smiled as my DH became a little miffed that teenage DS1 now gets the largest serving ;D ;D
-
Made this tonight and really enjoyed it. I substituted potatoes for rice and mashed them in the thermoserver. It is very quick and tasty JD thank you for the recipe. :-*
-
Made this a week ago and loved it!!! This was the first time i had made curried sausages from scratch (usually use the continental packet one).
I did not have apricot jam so just added more mango chutney and it was a lovely sweet curry taste.
Is def on a favourite list now.
-
We really love this meal. We have just polished off the left-overs from last night and the flavour was so yummy!!! Perfect for a cold and blustery evening! :)
-
Made these last night, oh so tasty and full of flavour - so a very definite will make again!. I didn't peel the sausages (began this task but it was painful!!!!!), but this was not a problem.
Thanks JD for the recipe post. :) :)
-
Glad you enjoyed them Robyn :-* :-*
-
Thanks for this tasty offering JD. I loved it! The children weren't really into it, but I'm sure they'll come around! lol
I like my sauce a bit thicker so next time I might add more flour or less liquid. Other than that it was the best I've ever tasted!
:)
-
Thanks rubyslippers, tweak away - that's what we all do on this forum.
-
DELICIOUS!! made this tonight for myself and two kids. I Loved the combination of the mango chutney, Apricot jam, saltanas and coconut. so yummy! and this was my first at steaming sausages and i think they taste great - must be healthier too!
ThankYou!!
-
Glad everyone liked it atpemberton, nothing wrong with steamed sausages but people have to do it for themselves to realise this. ;) ;)
-
Yummy Judy......was tonights dinner :)

We all enjoyed it ;D

Nice picture maddy, very colourful :)
-
It is a lovely cool day here so decided to give my curried sausages another go. I tweaked my recipe a bit and must say, I did enjoy this dish myself this time (too hot for me first time). I only used 1 tsp of homemade Madras curry powder (I really like this recipe from the Indian book). I found it a bit runny too rubyslippers (although the rice does soak up the excess liquid nicely) so will adjust liquid measurements in the original recipe. I cut my vegies into pieces that were a bit big and they weren't cooked when the rice & sausages were done so I cut them smaller and added them to the sauce where it says 'Add the remaining ingredients except sausages'. I did pumpkin, carrot & zucchini and will be adding vegies everytime I do this now.
-
Made these on the weekend for our visitors, and they were very popular - especially with the teenagers. I took your suggestion Judy and undercooked the veg and then added it to the curry sauce with the sausages. Yummm. ;D
-
These little forum get togethers really do benefit us all don't they Karen - how many recipes that we spoke about have been done since we all got together :D Visitors off tomorrow if I remember correctly - let us know if they do buy a TMX when they return to the UK. Just check your 'kitchen' before they leave for the airport to make sure the girls haven't packed your TMX :D :D
-
DH told the 3 teenagers last night that since today was their last day here, they could cook us dinner for a change :o They have to plan the menu and tell him what they need from the shops - and he also told them that they are expected to clean up after themselves too!! :o
I am at work all day, so who knows what I will come home to!
Maybe I should I hire my DH out to CP to sort out her kids ;D
-
He certainly seems to know how to handle teenagers as well as the little tots you have Karen - what a great DH you have there.
-
This was very nice. I used pork sausages which I did cook for several minutes longer. The whole family loved the meal. Well done! :)
-

Great idea karen, we're off to Bali for 10 days on Friday -- he can train them while we're gone :D :D :D
-
Thanks 23lyndall, glad you enjoyed them. Why not pop over here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?board=33.0) and introduce yourself so that we can all welcome you.
-
Cooking curried sausages in thermie is so much easier than the pre thermie days! Another one in my gotta make folder ticked off. yummo
-
Glad you liked it Kate.
-
I just wanted to say thanks so much judydawn for a fantastic Recipe :) I'm not a lover of Sausages but I will say that our local Butcher does one I do like but I can say that the money is now in my pocket as you have given me his secret Recipe.
I've only had my Thermomix since December and have never used my Veroma. All I can say is I'm absolutely pleased that your Recipe was so easy to follow and my meal turned out to be a hit with the whole Family, it was perfect in every way.
Last week I decided to become a Consultant and can't wait to go and share my passion with others.
Thanks once again.
Wendy :D
-
This is a yummy one Wendy. Congrats on deciding to become a consultant. I hope it goes really well for you. :)
-
Thank you for such a glowing review Wendy - I'm pleased you have found it so enjoyable. Good luck with your consultant training.
-
Made this for tea last night with leftover BBQ sausages which I added towards end. I put it in oven to thicken and cook a bit more while I cooked the mashed potato and broccoli. Very nice recipe, it will be put in my recipe folder!
Thanks
-
Good way to use up leftover BBQ sausages AinslieDR. Glad you liked it.
-
Was just wondering how to convert my curried sausages recipe to Thermomix and this has solved my problem! Thank you. Will be cooking this tonight and Im very excited as I've never used the varoma or the rice basket. Will let you know how it goes :)
-
We had this for dinner tonight, and it was really nice. I made it using the quantities given, and I think it would have been better had I used the quantities for the thicker sauce, I'll do that next time. I also served it with mashed potatoes.

-
made it today for my friends but used chicken and IT WAS FANTASTIC....they loved it and so did I......awesome recipe... many many thanks... will absolutely make it again
-

I love when you try a recipe and its a big hit :D
-
Made this today and must say that these are the nicest curried sausages I have ever had. Will have some for dinner tonight and the rest in the freezer.
-
Thanks for trying it Margaret, glad you liked it. I had not seen the reviews from jakodai & curly66 either so thanks to you too girls.
-
We had this for dinner since DH last night cooked way too many sausages when we had our BBQ, it was delicious and will make it again, thanks Judy xxx
-
It's handy to have a recipe bumped just when you need it suzanne. Great idea using leftovers from a BBQ.
-
Dh is Very Lucky I found it i don't know what he was thinking cooking 24 sausages ;D
-
kids love sausages, will try it
-
Made this today with left over cooked sausages, so I just made the curry and sauce, and didnt steam the rice and veggies. It was so very easy and totally delicious! Thanks Judy - another family favourite :-*
-
Thanks Karen, I must use it that way myself one day ;)
-
We had this tonight. I added sliced carrot to the sauce and cooked a little longer before adding in the sausages. We really enjoyed it although next time I think I'll leave out the tomato as I'm not a big fan of cooked tomato and I don't think it added much.
