Curried Sausages

Here in the Maldives, we don't get fresh sausages, have to make do with processed sausages. But there are good ones too like Krest, doux and Gills.

I saw this recipe first in a cookbook called Favorite Everyday Dinners and it's such a simple recipe using ingredients that you already have at home. 

I know eating processed sausages is not a good thing but I think it's okay to eat it once in a while. We eat sausages maybe twice a month and also I am careful about how much I give to the kids. One thing I have to tell you is that you as a parent should set an example to the kids in eating habits and also in mannerisms. If you drink fizzy drinks in front of the kids but refuse to give to your child then it's rather unfair right. I also have to say the same to mannerisms especially when it comes to respecting people, something which is slowly disappearing, it is something that really bothers me as a parent. 

Anyway, back to the recipe, I have used different sausages at different times.  I like to serve this with simple mash or my mashed potatoes with spices and some buttered peas.
