- 1
Warm 1 tbsp of the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Add the onion and soften it without letting it colour, 4-5 min.

Stir in the tomato paste, curry powder and paprika and fry for 1 min until the spices smell toasty.

Pour in 3 tbsp water and stir to loosen the spice paste.
- 5
Add the ketchup, vinegar and honey. Simmer gently, stirring now and then, until slightly thickened, 8-10 min.

Season the sauce with cayenne to taste. Blend it smooth with a stick blender if a silky sauce is preferred, then keep it warm.
- 7
Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- 8
Fry the sausages, turning often, until browned all over and cooked through to 71 °C (160 °F) inside, 10-12 min.
- 9
Cut each sausage into slices about 1.5 cm (1/2 in) thick and lay them on plates.

Spoon the hot sauce over the slices and dust with a little more curry powder.
