4-6 links pre-cooked fine grind German Bratwurst such as Weisswurst, Bavarian bratwurst, Bockwurst, Knockwurst
2 tbsp Corn Starch optional
1 tbsp Cooking Oil for pan frying
French fries for serving optional

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes, add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and garlic are caramelized, about 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder, paprika, cinnamon and cook until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, then add the chopped tomatoes and their juices, stock and vinegar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
Discard the cinnamon stick, then transfer tomato mixture to a blender and purée until smooth. Season to taste with salt.

Meanwhile, cut the sausages crossshaped for additional crispiness, not too deep (optional). Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and pan-fry, rotating until lightly browned on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on what type of sausage you select. Let rest for 5 minutes. For extra crispy sausages, cut the sausage in bite size pieces and coat them in corn starch (optional). Pan fry the sausage pieces in vegetable oil as mentioned above.
Drizzle the curry sauce on top of the sausages. Sprinkle additional curry powder on top, if desired, and serve with french fries.
