Curried sausages are the ultimate comfort food, and today, we're keeping it simple, delicious, and budget-friendly! Inspired by those big family dinners where you stretch every dollar but still pack in loads of flavor, this curried sausage recipe is perfect for a hearty meal that’s under $2.50 AUD for the whole pot! This is not your average sausage – it’s a pot of sausage goodness with a touch of curry spice and an irresistibly rich gravy, perfect to pour over a fluffy bowl of rice.

In this recipe, I’m making a delicious one-pot curried sausage dish that’s loaded with vegetables, tender sausages, and the perfect amount of spice. Whether you're a fan of meat, vegan sausages, or anything in between, this recipe has you covered. It's all about simplicity, taste, and making the most of what you've got on hand.

This isn’t your typical curry—think of it as sausages simmered in a savoury, curry-seasoned gravy. It’s a meal designed to stretch your dollar without skimping on flavour. From pantry spices to fresh silverbeet straight from the garden, everything is cooked up in a single pot, making it both economical and easy to clean up. If you’re looking for a meal that feeds the family, pairs perfectly with rice, and works for meal prep, this curried sausage recipe has you covered.

Starting with a bed of rice (pro tip: the starchy rinse water makes excellent garden fertilizer), we’ll caramelize the sausages for a beautiful golden crust, then layer in hearty carrots, onions, and silverbeet stems. After a simple homemade curry powder blend simmers with the sausage’s flavourful drippings, we’ll toss in the veggies and stock, thickening it all up for a rich, comforting texture. This is the ultimate cozy dish for family dinners or weekday lunches.

We’re packing this dish with silverbeet from the garden (big shoutout to everyone battling caterpillars in Perth!) along with carrots and onions to add sweetness and bulk. For the curry seasoning, I like to go all-in with whole spices: cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cardamom – because buying in bulk is not only cheaper, it also unlocks more uses in your kitchen.

The final touch? A quick flour slurry that thickens up the gravy to just the right consistency, making it perfect to ladle over a mound of rice. This recipe is more like a savory, saucy sausage stew, but trust me, once you taste it, you won’t mind a bit. It’s the kind of meal that warms you up without breaking the bank.

This homey food can comfort anyone. Especially for a lazy kind of week that you can just do up a whole pot as meal prep and have it through out the week. It's definitely not an "aussie invention" but it's my wife's childhood memory and I'd thrilled to share it with you!
