What are Curried Sausages
To me, curried sausages is a very old-fashioned recipe. I remember my mum making it for the family when I was very little. I had no idea it was still popular nowadays.
Traditionally made with beef stock, onions and a smattering of frozen peas this easy dish was on the plates of many families in Australia through the 70’s and 80’s. Lovingly referred to as bangers and mash it is usually served with mashed potato. To keep this recipe low in carbs and keto-friendly I serve it with our (amazing) Cauliflower Mash.

Ingredients
Scroll to the bottom of this post for the quantity of each ingredient used in our sausage curry recipe.
Curry powder – I use my Malaysian Meat Curry Powder which is similar to Babas Meat Curry Powder. You can use any curry powder you prefer. Keens Curry is most commonly used however it does contain rice powder. You can also use a curry paste in this sausage curry.
Sausages – choose the sausages you love the most. Beef sausages, pork sausages, chicken or vegetarian sausages. The choice is yours. I choose low carb sausages or get my local butcher to make some up with my own spice mix and no additives.
Stock – you can use beef or chicken stock in this recipe. If needed you can use vegetable stock as well. I do find the stock adds more flavour than broth.
How To Make Them
For convenience I have included both a conventional method and how to make keto curried sausages with a Thermomix. Either way you do it the recipe is fantastic. The method included with the Thermomix doesn’t involve any extra steps but still results in a very creamy and delicious curry sauce.
Step 1. Sauté the onion, in the butter with curry powder, lemongrass paste, ginger and onion. Once the onion is soft remove from the pan.
Step 2. Fry the sausages until almost cooked through. By not frying until they are done this will keep the moist and succulent. They will continue to cook in the gravy once added back to the pan (or Thermomix). Sausages can be steamed in the Thermomix, if preferred.
Step 3. Add 1 cup of the stock and xanthan gum (or gelatin) to the pan and cook until thick. Add remaining stock, tomatoes and coconut cream. Return the onions and sausages to the pan and cook until thick. Serve with Creamy Cauliflower Mash fresh parsley or coriander leaves.
FAQs and Hot Tips
Can I freeze curried sausages?
Absolutely! Spoon into individual portions and freeze in an airtight container for a freezer-friendly keto meal.
Can I make Curried Sausages in the Thermomix?
You sure can! I have included the method in the recipe card.
How to make curried sausages in the slow cooker?
Yes you can. Brown the sausages and slice them first. Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high 2-3 hours. Turn the heat up to thicken as needed.
Can I make curried sausages in my Instant Pot?
To cook curried sausages in the Instant Pot just add all the ingredients to the pot and give a good stir Seal the lid and cook on Pressure/5 minutes/natural release. Stir to evenly distribute the xanthan gum and thin with extra stock or water, if needed.

Notes
INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTES
Any vegetable(s) of choice can be added to the curried sausages.
Find low carb sausages at the supermarket or ask your butcher to make them. I use Three Aussie Farmers sausages from Coles supermarkets. They have a range of sausages that are between 1-2 g net carbs per sausage.
Curry Powder – I have used my Malaysian Meat Curry Powder but you can use your favourite curry powder, like Keens Curry Powder or any curry paste you like. We have a great Massaman or Red Curry Paste that would go great with this curry sausage recipe.
For a delicious keto vegan curried sausages option simply replace the sausages for vegan sausages and swap the broth for a vegetable broth.
Always use xanthan gum sparingly as it can leave a slimy mouth feel. If the gravy is slimy simply add more broth to thin it out. Glucomannan powder, arrowroot flour, or corn flour can be used in its place.

Wow this was so easy and super delicious. I doubled the recipe as I wanted to make it for lunches or dinners this week while I’m working. Cooked sausages in frypan, made sauce in the thermomix and then added sauce to frypan and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Will definitely be making again that’s for sure. Hubby loved it too!!
Thanks Megan, your a gem xx
Absolutely delicious!! Was super tasty and full of flavor,
Best curried sausages I have ever had. More delicious than tranditional curried sausages.
I forgot beef stock (woops!)
I had chicken stock in my pantry and so used that instead and was still soooo good!
Can’t wait to make it again.
We had this for dinner during the week. 4yr old grandson went back for seconds. Will definitely be making again this week and will double recipe so we have leftovers for lunch. Definitely will be cooking this one over and over.
That is so awesome Narelle. I love it when a recipe is enjoyed by the whole family.
made this again tonight but used prawns instead of sausages once again it was so yummy and once again hand hubby gives it the big thumbs up have leftovers for hubby’s lunch tomorrow
I swore I would never make curried sausages when I left home. Mum (god bless her) made them so memorable that I didn’t want to eat them again. EVER.
Stage left, Megan Ellam. These are soooo darn good that I’ve made them numerous times & my husband loves them.
Thank you Megan. Another excellent eternal recipe for the collection 🥰
This was a quick easy meal that my boys loved. Will definitely make this again, its going to become a regular in our household.
I love curried snags.. and I especially love this recipe. I made it exactly to the flavours this time and it is delicious. The xanthan is definitely the thickener of choice. I also added in a large zucchini. Very flavoursome and great way to use sausages. Is a winner in this household for sure!
So happy you enjoy them Helen.
This recipe doesn’t disappoint, so tasty and quick, keto ticks all the way. We added our leftover veggies of carrot, celery, broccoli, tomatoes and zucchini to this recipe and was heavenly. The recipe doesn’t need a hit of veggies but we tend to bulk our meals up with veg to make it go further. We have our adult son living with us and he needs carbs to he will have this with rice or mashed potato. We will have ours plain or with keto mash. Thanks again Meg this is a winner.
You are very welcome Tracy. So good to hear everyone enjoyed theirs.
This is so tasty! I used Keen’s Curry Powder as it’s milder than the one suggested. I added an extra half cup of beef broth, green beans, and zucchini.
So happy you enjoyed it Marilynne
Had these with Creamy Cauliflower Mash & they were delicious. There being only 2 of us, I put half away for later in the week. WOW! Those few days in the fridge with the flavours developing meant that our second serving tasted absolutely amazing! I shall be making this dish a day or so before eating it in future – just like a regular curry, it’s always better the next day! Thanks, Megan – I’d never had curried sausages before, but thanks to you, I’ve discovered that I love them!
Yay!
