Here’s a classic dish you’d order at October Fest Curry worst and Fries it is Smoky BR worst it is crispy french fries and it all comes together with a delicious Curry ketchup life can be a struggle but a good meal doesn’t have to be we can make creative nutritious and

Inventive dishes that won’t break the bank we’ll eat well and save money cuz that’s what we do welcome to struggle meals the first thing we have to do is work on our potatoes you want to julen them since we don’t have a potato slicer and then what

You can do is you take three of them at a time and now we’ll get our french fry Cuts so I’m going pretty thin with my French fries I like them thin because thin means more surface area more surface area means more exposure to Hot Oil which means a crispier fry we’re

Throwing our potatoes into water here potatoes are loaded with starch and the starch that’s inside of the potatoes prevent them from getting crispy unless you remove said starch while those potatoes soak in the water let’s work on our Curry ketchup so we’ve got an onion we’re going to come down through the

Poles cut off the Arctic Circle we’re going to do a nice medium dice I don’t have to be too precise great let’s get some fire on our sauser pan who’s excited about October Fest we Are we’re going to hit our onion with a little bit of salt some pepper so I’ve got two cloves of garlic here they’re wearing t-shirts I’m just going to put my knife over the top and smash it down and that’s going to make the T-shirt come off if I take the garlic

And I just now rub it between my hands all that paper pretty much disintegrates right off we’ll smash these cloves open a little more so their natural oil comes out and we’ll throw these into the pot with the onion now let’s start turning this into a curry spice number one is

Curry powder and this is going to be our main spice we’re going to use quite a bit of it so stirring the spice around here I want it to see that warm oil it should become aromatic all the little oils inside the ground spice should wake

Up all right with the curry powder we’re going to add paprika coriander powder and cumin we’ll mix this around real good and that’s it Curry ketchup is pretty easy to make but if you are going to screw it up it’s going to be right here it’s these spices burning don’t let

It happen once the spices start Browning a little bit like this we can deaz the pan with some apple cider vinegar we’re making our ketchup now all right so we’ll mix that around we’ll scrape off any bits on the bottom we’re coming in with some wacher sauce

It’s going to give us deep dark flavor that Jen sequa I’ve got beef broth here the Aromas are both of spice and bright fantastic vinegars but it ain’t a ketchup without ketchup here we Go effectively we’ve made a fortified ketchup that’s what Curry ketchup is while this simmers I’m going to start frying my fries so our potatoes have soaked now we got to dry them off a little bit because water and oil do not like to play nice together you can see

The starchiness left behind in the water that’s exactly what we were hoping would happen I’ve got some hot fry oil here you want to make sure that oil is hot so take a single potato and dip it in and it should Sizzle so let’s add some potatoes in a little bit at a

Time give it a little jiggle let them be free we’re looking for gbd golden brown and delicious so I’m very gently moving the fries about in the oil I don’t want want them to stick depending on how thick you cut the potatoes the cooking time is going to change these about 7

Minutes thicker 13 maybe our fries are looking nice and golden let’s pull them I’m going to land them on some paper towel this will absorb the excess oil while these are hot you want to hit them with salt one would argue this might be the most important step in

French fry making the curry ketchup has reduced down to a nice thick ketchupy consistency now we’re going to blend it until it’s smooth Flame off immersion blender in so my Curry ketchup is nice and smooth rustic if you will I’m going to spoon it right into a little dipping

Container that Curry ketchup looks awesome so our Curry ketchup is ready the fries are ready let’s heat up some BR worst so I’m just going to cook these for a couple minutes on each side till they’re brown because these were already cooked we’re going to cut these up into

Bite-sized pieces that are great for dipping we got our sliced up BR we’ve got our crispy french fries we’ve got our Curry ketchup let’s make a plate and have a beer got some Curry ketchup I like to spoon it into dollops all about the BR worst nice smells so good we’re

Going to hit this with some curry powder over top for a little extra Pizzazz I love the Aromas of the curry ketchup it’s 275 of serving time to dig in it’s going to be good Bite it’s so good the curry ketchup is so Tangy and spicy it’s like ketchup on steroids and it pairs perfectly with that BR worst bring french fries into the whole mix and you’ve got a powered Trio

  1. Greetings from Bavaria, hate to deillusion you: currywurst is absolutly not a common thing to eat on Oktoberfest^^" Typical is grilled Chicken, Klöße and so on. Currywurst is an typical nothern thing, like in Berlin or Hamburg.

  2. This one is a major fail – sorry Frankie.
    First of all: Oktoberfest and Currywurst won’t match. I cannot say that you cannot get Currywurst on the current Oktoberfest (eventually there are tourists which are stereotyping German cuisine) – but Currywurst have been always a Mid- to Northern German food – not a Bavarian thing.

    Second: the curry sauce is not at all as curry sauce in Germany. This sauce has always a sweet element. While every street vendor has his/her own recipe, it is commonly accepted, that there are fruity elements in the sauce: It is rumored that in the original sauce there has been apple sauce – but people use everything from apricot jam (or puree), peach even mango: also cumin is not a thing – at least not as a “dominant” spice.

    And the sausage is a whole different philosophy. There, depending on where you are in Germany, it goes far apart: There are sausages without casings (Berlin) – and with casings. Usually not smoked and always precooked (you got that reasonably right I guess???).

  3. I love watching your videos. Your techniques are so professional but simplified for beginner cooks. Love when you silly and knowledgeable

  4. Curry Ketchup and Currywurst Sauce are two very different things.
    Curry Ketchup is usually Ketchup with Curry powder added.
    What you made could be classified as Currywurst Sauce, but the amount of onion is way to high for that, so your sauce is a bit to bright.
    But thanks for shining a light on this German delicacy.

  5. In German this is called Brat Kartofel…….mit Currywurst……..no such thing as french fries. That is American terminology.
