Meats and Sausages
Bratwurst-Curry
Currywurst is the most popular sausage in Berlin and Hamburg, however, the sausage itself has not much character as any sausage can become “currywurst” as long as it is topped off with the currywurst sauce. It is all about the sauce and not much about the sausage. The following recipe can be considered the real curry sausage as curry powder is included in the sausage mix. The sausage, can of course, be served with a curry sauce as well.
