1. Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat. Brown the sausages for 8 minutes, turning, until golden all over. Lift them onto a plate.

Worth Knowing Before You Cook

Use a mild curry powder. The sauce should be gently spiced and sweet, and a hot powder overwhelms the apple and sultanas.

Grate the apple finely. It dissolves into the sauce as it cooks and adds sweetness without leaving lumps.

Simmer, and do not boil. A hard boil splits the sausage skins and toughens the meat, and the sauce catches on the base of the pan.

Leftovers

Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days and tastes better reheated. Freezes for 2 months. Warm gently with a splash of water if the sauce has thickened.
