Curried sausage is a great recipe for those who love coconut milk and cream in their curry. It is creamy, rich, and flavor-packed. You really should use quality fresh sausages for this recipe as it is almost the highlight of the dish. Biting into that succulent perfectly cooked sausage in that creamy and rich curry gravy is heavenly.
The best part about this curry is that it can be easily customized to your liking. So, if you prefer a spicier curry, simply add more chili peppers and use hot curry powder.

Ingredients
Pork sausages: use any fresh pork sausages of choice, I prefer to use plain ones so that way I get to enjoy the maximum flavor from the sausage and the curry.
Curry powder: You can use any type of curry powder you want mild or hot. I prefer the hot one and the brand I mostly use is ‘Ducross’ which is readily available in most Asian or African stores.
Turmeric powder: This is optional but highly recommended for that rich vibrant curry color.
Cumin seeds
Chili flake: substitute with cayenne pepper, the heat compliments the creaminess of the coconut milk.
Salt and black pepper
Onion
Coconut milk
Olive oil: substitute with any other flavorless oil of choice.
Cilantro leaves, to serve and garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F
Remove the sausages from its packaging and arrange them in a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the sausages for 20-25 minutes flipping it halfway through.
Remove the sausages from the oven and set them aside (You can slice each sausage into 2 or 3 smaller pieces if you prefer)
Place a skillet over medium high heat, add sliced onions and saute until soft and fragrant.
Add cumin seed, curry powder, and turmeric powder and stir to combine for about 15 seconds just to release the fragrance.
Stir the coconut milk into the sauteed aromatics, add half a cup of water (sub with chicken stock) and stir to combine.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes and stir.
Add the cooked sausages to the coconut curry, reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 5-8 minutes or until the curry thickens slightly. Just before you take the curry off the heat, stir in one cup of frozen peas and simmer for another minute. Remove the pan from the heat and serve as desired.
PS: cook the sausages in the air fryer to cut down about 20 minutes from the cooking time.
How to store and reheat
Leftover curried sausage can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth over medium-low heat until piping hot throughout.
You can also freeze the leftover for up to 3 months in a freezer safe bag or an airtight container. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
