# Ingredients:

→ Curry Ketchup

01 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
02 - 120 grams yellow onion, finely chopped
03 - 1 garlic clove, minced
04 - 2 tablespoons curry powder
05 - 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
06 - 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - 240 millilitres ketchup (preferably organic)
08 - 1 tablespoon tomato paste
09 - 60 millilitres chicken broth or vegetable broth
10 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
11 - 1 tablespoon honey
12 - 1.5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
13 - 1 teaspoon brown sugar
14 - 0.25 teaspoon yellow mustard
15 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
16 - 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
17 - Cayenne pepper, to taste (optional, for heat)

→ Currywurst

18 - 4 German bratwursts (bockwurst, weisswurst, or rotwurst)
19 - 1 teaspoon curry powder, for sprinkling

# Steps:

01 - Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
02 - Incorporate minced garlic, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant. Add curry powder, paprika, and cinnamon, toasting for 30 seconds while stirring to develop flavor.
03 - Stir in ketchup, tomato paste, broth, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne if using. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and allow to cook gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
04 - Use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan, or transfer sauce to a countertop blender, processing until smooth. Let cool fully and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal flavor development.
05 - If working with raw bratwurst, poach in barely simmering water until fully cooked through. Then, finish by grilling, pan-frying, or air frying sausages until exterior is golden and crisp.
06 - Slice sausages into bite-sized pieces. Arrange on serving plates, generously spooning curry ketchup over the top. Finish with a sprinkling of curry powder. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, refrigerate the curry ketchup overnight to allow the flavors to mature. The sauce will keep in an airtight container for up to one month in the refrigerator.
02 - Currywurst is traditionally enjoyed with French fries, crusty rolls, or potato wedges, and is commonly served with toothpicks for convenient eating.
