Currywurst with Fries
and green salad with cucumbers and apples
Currywurst is a popular German street food consisting of sliced bratwurst, fries, and curry ketchup for dipping. It's also a fun and easy meal to make at home! We've paired it with a crisp salad for some freshness and a more homemade feel.
Smarts: We recommend using a mild curry powder here so you can get lots of good curry flavor without too much heat. Feel free to adjust the amount to suit your taste.
