A twist on an Aussie classic, these slimming friendly Curried Sausages are perfect when watching your calories or following a plan like Weight Watchers!
These Curried Sausages came about after having a hankering for a chippy dinner one night. Sadly, a visit to the chippy and trying to lose weight don’t work well together, so we thought we’d make Curried Sausages instead!
This dish is ready in under an hour so it’s a really quick and easy dinner, but you could also make it in the slow cooker if you’d prefer. You can find our Slow Cooker Curried Sausages recipe here.
Curried Sausages are as common as spag bol in Australia, and after chatting to an Aussie friend we decided to give it a slimming twist.
In our version of Curried Sausages, we’ve crammed as much veg as we can into it. Even the sauce is made of vegetables, which means it’s a great way to make sure you’re getting your 5 a day and is ideal for picky eaters.
If you’re a fan of curry and sausages, why not try our Currywurst recipe next which is a German take on the same flavours?

- Low calorie sausages

Hi. Is there anything I can use to replace the butternut squash as I’m highly allergic but it sounds so delicious 🥹
HollyMonday 6th June 2022
Hey Rosie, you could swap the butternut squash for sweet potato hope that helps!
TpenstonFriday 7th January 2022
Is it really 2 tablespoons of curry powder . Made as this and totally inedible. To strong a curry
HollyMonday 10th January 2022
Hey Tpenston, that is correct the recipe uses 1 tbsp curry powder and 1 tbsp madras curry powder. If this is not quite to your taste you could reduce the amount used to better suit your preference. Hope that helps!
BrigSunday 14th March 2021
Do you use Mild Madras powder or hot madras powder (until now I didn’t know there were 2 different strengths!)
HollyMonday 15th March 2021
Hey Brig, it’s up to you which strength of the madras curry powder you use as you can suit it to your taste, hope that helps!
Anna BakerWednesday 1st August 2018
Hi
Can I make this without patatoes / butternut squash? I do not have either in. Got plenty of carrots though ! Lol xx
Clair ShieldsMonday 30th April 2018
Is it best to brown the sausages before putting in the curry?
KatieMonday 16th November 2020
Did you get a reply about browning the sausages beforehand?
Can anyone who’s made this recipe answer? Do you need to brown the sausages before putting in the curry sauce?
HollyThursday 19th November 2020
Hi Katie, you could lightly brown the sausages in a frying pan before adding them to the curry in step 6 but as they are sliced up they will cook once added to the pan as they are. Hope that helps!

Has anyone tried this sauce but with chicken?
KateSaturday 29th April 2017
