ReceptnaptárCurrywurst (fried sausage with curry ketchup)
Currywurst is a Berlin street-food classic: fried sausage in a curry-spiced ketchup sauce. It was born after the Second World War, when a Berlin vendor stirred curry powder received from British soldiers into ketchup, creating one of the city's most famous fast foods.

Tips
- Fry the sausage until crisp, as a plain boiled sausage is less exciting alongside this dish.
- Simmer the sauce only briefly, so the curry flavour doesn't get lost.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of chilli to the sauce.
- Served with chips and a bread roll, it makes the fullest, street-food-style plate.
Frequently asked questions
What's the best sausage for it?
The traditional version uses a plain, skinless fried sausage (Bratwurst-type), but a frankfurter also works well.
How spicy is it?
Not very, as the curry powder is mostly for flavour; for more heat, add chilli or a hotter curry powder.
