Currywurst is a bratwurst sausage served with curry-flavoured ketchup and curry powder
The Currywurst is from Berlin to Hamburg, from Cologne to Munich the most popular sausage dish of the German nation!
Making Currywurst yourself starts with choosing the right sausage, a Top Currywurst sauce recipe, a selection of curry spices and wonderfully homemade fries.
So that our brain cells can regenerate I have added a variant of the vegetarian Currywurst. Gourmets now only eat vegetarian or vegan currywurst!
If you want to get into the Bild newspaper I recommend Curry sausage with gold leaf!
In the article you get a lot of tips, at the same time I make a summary of what my cook colleagues Schuhbeck, Mälzer and Rosin conjure up around the Currywurst.
The regional overview shows you the small, fine differences between Ruhrpott Currywurst, VW and Volkswagen Currywurst from Hannover and Berliner Currywurst.
I wish you lots of fun reading and good luck making your own Currywurst!

French fries warm in the oven at 160°C. So the supply is guaranteed!
Alternatively, prepare the chips for the oven according to the instructions on the packaging!
Preparation step 8 Cut in the bratwurst, this promotes the development of the taste and contributes to the good appearance of the currywurst!
Prepare sausage
The sausages simply or crosswise carefully, do not cut deeply.
Prepare the sausages either in the deep fryer or fry them like a star chef with a little rapeseed oil in a frying pan and let them take on a nice colour.
Preparation step 9 Currywurst while frying in the pan. Use heat-resistant rapeseed oil and fry the sausages gently and slowly!

Serve Currywurst
Cover the currywurst with sauce, making sure that some sausage pieces look out without sauce.
Put the prepared French fries to the curry sausage.
Preparation step 11 The currywurst is usually served sliced, at least at the snack bar. At home you can also serve your currywurst whole with the fries and sauce. You can find ideas for the right curry in the article.
Supplement curry
Now sprinkle with the desired curry or present different curry spice mixtures at the table.
You can additionally decorate with some cress or in the luxury variant, if you want to make it into the Bild newspaper with gold leaf or gold leaf dust.
Preparation step 12 Crispy fried basil leaves are the highlight topping.
Decoration tip
Currywurst can be complemented with gold leaf, fresh cress or fried garden herbs.
Shortly fried rosemary tastes delicious, with crispy basil leaves or freshly fried parsley you cook this dish on star cook level.
Preparation step 13 You can eat Berlin currywurst at Bier's Kudamm 195 the noble snack bar on Kurfürstendamm 195 offers champagne and currywurst, attracts pizzas and their fans.
Drink tip
Serve with beer or champanger.
With the vegetarian sausage tastes a Lapsang Souchong tea, which is a Chinese, noble smoked tea.
You need to currywurst with fries to make the following tools yourself:
A well filled deep fryer or a large pot with vegetable oil and basket for frying.
Possibly a pan with a high edge for frying the sausage.
A cutting board and a knife.
A pot for the currywurst sauce, cooking spoon and ladle.
A large bowl with water for the potatoes.
A matching harness and all Currywurst ingredients.
I am going to prepare the fries in this post only in passing. In the article Making french fries myself I explain how to prepare french fries step by step.
The Currywurst is usually served sliced, at least at the snack bar. At home you can also serve your currywurst whole with the fries and sauce. You can find ideas for the right curry in the article.
The proven approach:
First prepare the Currywurst sauce, then take care of the french fries and fry or deep fry the Currywurst.
You’ve already noticed! Currywurst please slightly cut before roasting…
Tip from Chef Thomas Sixt
Bratwurst, this promotes the taste formation and contributes to the good optics of the Currywurst!
Chef chefs fry Currywurst for a better taste in the pan!
Currywurst while frying in the pan. Use heat-resistant rapeseed oil and fry the sausages with feeling and slowly!
If you want to avoid the fryer, prepare the chips in the oven.
So you can concentrate on the preparation of the currywurst in the pan and the currywurst sauce.
Little time? Preparing chips in the oven and concentrating fully on preparing curry sausages…
French fries side dish tip from chef Thomas Sixt
Delicious French fries served in a bag – original with ketchup. Homemade French fries taste delicious with currywurst!
4. Select Sausage for Curry Wurst
To make Currywurst yourself you buy one of the following sausages:
vegetarian or vegan bratwurst
bockwurst
white bratwurst
red bratwurst
veal bratwurst
For the Berliner Currywurst there is the variant with and without intestine.
The cylindrical Berliner Currywurst without casing is similar in appearance to the Bavarian wool sausages.
The Berliner Currywurst is a defined name:
It is an uncured and non-smoked bratwurst with a maximum water content of 5%.
Vegetarian Currywurst saves the planet and is good for the soul!
Tip from chef Thomas Sixt
Which sausage is the right one for Currywurst? Left in the picture extra large Currywurst, right in the picture white bratwurst. Who wants to do it right takes the golden mean, Vegetarian Bratwürste.
5. Vegetarian Curry Wurst
We eat too much meat and sausage, does that fit into a currywurst post?
I would like to encourage you to try the Currywurst with a soy sausage.
It tastes delicious and is good for body and soul.
I like to use Quorn Bratwurst, which is available in the supermarket.
If you have a good tip for another vegetarian or vegan bratwurst in stock, please use the comment function and post… THANK YOU!
Advantage: For vegetarian Currywurst you don’t need a butcher or butcher of your trust! 🙂
Says Chef Thomas Sixt
Curry bratwurst down, in the middle white bratwurst, who wants to go up takes the vegetarian bratwurst.

Brown sugar made from sugar cane is considered healthier than white industrial sugar.
