Notes

  • The dusting at the end is not a garnish — raw curry powder on top is what gives currywurst its particular smell and bite.
  • Sweet and sour is the balance to chase. Taste the finished sauce and adjust with a pinch more sugar or a dash more vinegar until it tastes almost like a spiced ketchup.
  • Berlin serves it skinless, the Ruhr with the skin on. Either is correct depending on who you ask.
