Coconut Curried Sausages is the first Thermomix recipe I ever “developed”.
Now, I had never heard of curried sausages in my life… so I jumped on Google and browsed about 100 recipes.
With this concept in my head that it would be creamy and coconutty… only to find it was more of a tomatoey dish with supermarket curry powder in it. PASS!!!!
This Thermomix recipe is really delicious, but more of a comfort meal in the Skinnymixer household.
I converted it to Thermomix a few years ago and whenever someone asks for a curried sausages recipe, I find the original version raved about. Usually we do it with frozen peas, but I didn’t have any on hand so chucked in some baby spinach – which we actually now prefer.
The Coconut Curried Sausages recipe has been a firm favourite in the Skinnymixers Facebook Group & Thermomix Community for a number of years and features in The Top 12 Thermomix Recipes to Freeze List which is full of some of my other healthy Thermomix recipes.

Why Malaysian Style Curry Powder?
Personally, I’m not a big fan of Keen’s. This Coconut Curried Sausage recipe was developed with Babas Malaysian Meat Curry Powder, since then I have released my own Malaysian Style Curry Powder that I prefer to use – it also means you can make your own with supermarket ingredients instead of needing to find a shop that sells Babas!
This curry powder is an aromatic Malaysian style Red Curry Powder and is very different to Keens or other commercial curry powder. Remember to reduce to 1-2 tsp if using a different, spicier curry powder.

At step 6 if using an Intelli place a tea towel over the steamer lid, use speed 3 and increase cooking time if required. If using a Supercook please use speed 4. At step 9 DO NOT use your butterfly and be sure to use speed 1.
