How to Make Curried Sausages with Thermomix
Preparing the Sausages
Pre-cook the sausages by boiling or pan-frying until lightly browned. This helps seal the flavor and ensures they’re fully cooked. Let the sausages cool slightly, then slice them into bite-sized pieces.

Sautéing the Aromatics
Add olive oil, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the Thermomix bowl. Sauté at 120°C for 5 minutes on Speed 1 until the onions become soft and translucent. Sautéing the aromatics first deepens the flavors of the curry base.
Toasting the Spices
Add curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and tomato paste to the Thermomix bowl. Cook for an additional 2 minutes at 100°C on Speed 1. Toasting the spices releases their oils, enhancing the aroma and flavor of the sauce.
Creating the Sauce
Pour in the stock and coconut milk. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mixture to prevent clumping. Blend everything on Speed 3 for 20 seconds to combine the ingredients smoothly.
Adding Sausages and Vegetables
Place the pre-cooked sausage slices and vegetables into the Thermomix bowl. Stir gently on Reverse Speed 1 to coat everything in the sauce. Cook at 100°C for 15–20 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Finishing Touches
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add salt, pepper, or additional curry powder to suit your preference. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.
Variations of Curried Sausages
1. Extra Heat
If you enjoy a spicy dish, add chopped chili, chili flakes, or cayenne pepper to the curry.

3. Vegan Alternative
