Instructions
Prepare the Curry Powder
- Grind together the cloves, black peppercorns, cinnamon stick, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds in a spice grinder until a fine powder is formed. Store in an airtight container.
Make the Vegetarian Sausages
- Combine the mashed potato, paneer, chopped onion, crushed cashews, fresh coriander, red chili powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Shape the mixture into small, sausage-like shapes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Carefully deep-fry the sausages until golden brown and crispy, ensuring the oil is hot enough to prevent them from splitting.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make the Curry Sauce
- Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds. Saute until fragrant.
- Add the ginger paste and green chilies and sauté briefly.
- Stir in the curry powder, tomato ketchup, red chili sauce, vinegar, mustard sauce, sugar and Garam Masala. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
Assemble and Serve
- Place the deep-fried sausages on a plate and generously pour the curry sauce over them.
- Serve immediately with bread slices or potato wedges.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a spicier currywurst, add more green chilies or red chili powder to both the sausages and the sauce.
- If you don't have paneer, you can substitute it with crumbled firm tofu.
- To make the sausages ahead of time, shape them and refrigerate until ready to fry. This is a great time-saving tip for busy weeknights.
- Experiment with different bread types! Pretzel rolls or crusty bread work wonderfully well.
