South Indian Spiced Currywurst

Ingredients

In this South Indian adaptation of Currywurst, we infuse the dish with the bold and aromatic flavors of South Indian spices. The traditional German curry sauce is transformed with the addition of spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder, giving it a distinct South Indian twist. The sausages are typically served with basmati rice or dosas, instead of the traditional German accompaniments. This fusion dish brings together the best of both cuisines, creating a unique and flavorful experience. We alse have the original recipe for Currywurst, so you can check it out.
