Hi, Ray here again.
I was checking out the recipes on the Curry Focus website and saw the was one for Curried Beef Sausages.
I eat lots of sausages and decided to make the very easy recipe.
I boiled the sausages in water, let them cool and then removed the skins from them. This really was about the most complicated part of the recipe.
I made the beef stock and prepared the onions and apple and then started to do the cooking.
The recipe was easy to follow and I didn’t have any problems.
The curried sausages were served on rice to the waiting diners.
And the verdict was that the meal was bland. There was not much spice/heat in the meal. Everything was cooked correctly but it was just too bland. In even looked bland and some colour would have helped.
And the portions were big. There were 3 sausages each and that is a lot. I think the curry would easily have served 6 people, rather than 4, as written in the recipe (I have changed the recipe to say that it serves 4-6).
Overall, the meal got a very average rating of 5.5 out of 10 with a spice/heat rating of mild.
This was a very disappointing meal, especially since I like sausages so much.
If you do try the recipe, then perhaps you could spice it up a bit with a couple of teaspoons of garam masala and a teaspoon of cumin – the spices could be stir-fried in the butter for a minute before adding the onions, apple and curry powder. And also maybe some grated fresh ginger root. And it wouldn’t do any harm to add a bell pepper (red or green) and garnish with cilantro to add a bit of colour.
