Steps
- 1Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and fry the onion for 5 minutes until soft.
- 2Stir in 1½ tbsp of the curry powder and the paprika and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant; frying wakes up the spices.
- 3Add the passata, ketchup, vinegar, sugar, cayenne and a pinch of salt and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring, until thick. Blend it smooth if you like.
- 4Meanwhile, fry the sausages in the remaining oil over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, turning, until browned and cooked through.
- 5Slice the sausages into 2 cm pieces, pile them onto plates and pour over the hot sauce.
- 6Dust with the rest of the curry powder and serve with the bread rolls.
