German Curry Sauce for Wurst

Recipe #37911 | 5 min | add private note

If you've ever been to Germany, then you will be familiar with the ever present "Schnell Imbiss" stands. Similar to a hot dog stand, the Schnell Imbiss stand sells a variety of wurst dishes including the famous "Currywurst," a grilled bratwurst, cut into slices, and served with a ladleful of warm curry sauce. Curry sauce is also served over "pommes" (aka French Fries). This is the recipe, as told to me by a German Imbiss lady herself. It is really quite simple to make and keeps well in the fridge. The Imbiss stands always use mild curry powder to make this sauce. It tastes much better than the commerically prepared versions.

1 cup sauce (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat ketchup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until warm, stirring often.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, add lots of curry powder- about a teaspoon at a time (I use about 3-4 tsp. total), stirring each time, until it no longer tastes like ketchup, but has a tangy curry taste, stirring constantly.
  3. 3
    Don't go too overboard with the curry; you just want it to lose the sweet ketchupy taste.
  4. 4
    Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the ketchup thickens a bit and takes on a grainy look- this only takes a few minutes.
  5. 5
    Serve immediately with cooked bratwurst or let cool and store in a plastic squeeze bottle in the fridge and use as a condiment for any cooked wurst.
  6. 6
    Serve warm or cold.

It's been almost 25 years since I was in Germany, and I'd completely forgotten this sauce. We had it on Brats this weekend, and really enjoyed it. Although it is not exactly what I remember, it was very, very good. Thanks for posting.

    I haven't had the pleasure of enjoying an authentic Imbiss Currywurst, but this sauce is fantastic! I keep a full squeeze bottle in the door of the fridge for whenever the urge hits (I am on my third bottle so far!). Thank you so much!

    A huge hit with my German and Polish friends. They've both asked me for the recipe, which of course I have shared.
