Serving: 6
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 6 hours
Total Time 6 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 12 thin sausages of your choice
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 x 425g can of mango pieces in syrup
  • 1 x 400ml can coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder (I use Keen’s)
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour
  • 1 cup spring onion/shallots sliced

Instructions
 

  • Place raw, whole sausages and diced onion in slow cooker
  • Using a stick blender or food processor blend mango and syrup to pulp
  • Add coconut milk, curry, garlic, and cornflour to the mango pulp and blitz again until all combined well
  • Pour over sausages and cook on low for 5hrs 30mins
  • In the last 30mins add sliced spring onions/shallots
  • Total cooking time 6hrs on low

Notes

  • This is a medium curry heat. You could halve the curry powder to reduce it to mild. Alternatively we took out our children’s serves and just mixed through a half a cup of pouring cream to theirs to reduce the heat to mild before plating them, and then left ours as it was as medium heat.
  • Our children enjoyed theirs served with brown rice, the adults enjoyed theirs served with mashed sweet potato
  • In the last hour or so of cooking time I use a plastic egg flip or spoon to ‘cut’ the sausages into bite sized pieces in the cooking pot easily as they are very tender and easy to do so then.

  1. Don’t need to make this to know it will be a favourite….have added to my shopping list to make during the week. Thanks Pauline.

  2. How much fat cane ourif the sausages? Would it bebetter to parboil first. I have never done sausages in slow cooker before.

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central March 30, 2018

      I personally NEVER pre cook my sausages before slow cooking them 🙂
      Up to you though if you feel you need to

      1. Hi Paulene, could you substitute the sausages for chicken breast please? I have fussy family members who aren’t a fan of slow cooker sausauges. If you can substitute for chicken breast, would you still keep the same time? And whole chicken breasts then cut up towards the end?
        Thank you!

          Hi Brooke 🙂
          Yes you could swap out the sausages for chicken in this one.
          Thigh fillet would be better results as it stays more moist (around 5hrs)
          However if you use breast keep times less, more like 3-3.5hrs whole or 3hrs if diced.

    We love love love curry sausages and when i seen this recipe i could not wait to give it a go. YUM! This will now be my go to curry sausage recipe. I followed the recipe but next time i will add some frozen mixed veg with it.

  4. Darcy warbo May 1, 2018

    This was beautiful. My fussy 6 year old absolutely loved it and ate the whole lot. A new family favourite.

  5. Marilyn Watt May 5, 2018

    This is s beautiful recipe. Going to try it with chicken next

  6. Heather Turner May 7, 2018

    A family favorite! The adults love it as well as the kids. Mr fussy 2 year old is catered for as we pull his sausages out whole and wipe the sauce off if his ones so they are plain.
    We also add carrots at the start so there are nice soft pieces for the one year old.

  7. Christine May 9, 2018

    Beautiful I made it the other night had it with mashed potatoes as I don’t eat rice, beautiful the next day as well.

  8. Can you add frozen veg to this and it still taste as good also I could only find a jar of mangoes (685g) in syrup would that still be ok

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central May 29, 2018

      Yes just blitz mangoes
      Beware frozen veg may add extra water to dish

  9. The kids had seconds! An absolute winner. I used 2 tins of mangoes and 1 tin of coconut cream. Such a beautiful thick sauce.

  10. This is such a family favorite. Its not to sweet or spicy, its the perfect blend. I serve with mash potato or rice or even just some steamed vegetables. So yum.

  11. Wow! This was soo good. The whole family including my 1yr old enjoyed it. I added a cup of thickened cream at the end and served with homemade naan bread. Thanks Pauline .

  12. Lorraine Thompson May 29, 2018

    So good! I added broccoli and cauli for the last hour or so.

  13. This recipe was a huge hit with my family. Even my husband who doesn’t like mangoes enjoyed it. Thanks Pauline!

  14. Alana Moses June 25, 2018

    Cooked this tonight so easy and quick to do, backed off on the curry a little. A hit with family so will make it again and might try chicken as well

  15. Made this tonight, and served it with mashed potatoes. Absolutely beautiful. Just wondering if this would freeze ok?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central August 4, 2018

      I havne’t tried to be certain but I would give it a go, yes 🙂

  16. Family favourite, kids eat this dish no fuss. I half the curry powder so it isn’t so spicy. Trying it with chicken sausages for the first time today.

  17. If I choose to use fresh mangoes instead of canned, would I need to add any sweetener? My husband and I are both diabetic so fruit in syrup is out. I was thinking something like stevia to sweeten it.

  18. Pauline, would you double all of the ingredients if you used 24 sausages? Ta x

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central March 13, 2019

      It’s probably enough liquids to cope with extra sausages but if you want lots of sauce you certainly could double it 🙂
      Bearing it mind it may need a little thickening at the end possibly

  19. Made this tonight and it was amazing! The flavour combinations were perfect. You could taste everything and nothing was overpowering. I didn’t even need to reduce the curry, it wasn’t too spicy for our taste buds at all. Going to try it with chicken next. It was actually my 8 year old that suggested that!

  20. I don’t have a slow cooker, but I am going to try this out in my oven on a low Temperature.

  21. Margaret Hill February 15, 2020

    This recipe was so delicious and none of the ingredients were overpowering each other, will defineately be cooking more often

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central April 23, 2020

      Sure .. if fillets I’d reduce time to around 4hrs for chicken or keep it around 5hrs for boned pieces

  22. Used 24 sausages, and added minced ginger and extra curry powder. I make this at least once a week, everyone raves about it!

  23. anne cropley August 27, 2020

    i normally cook normal curried sausages and there are always some left. cooked the mango coconut curried sausages tonight and not one sausage or sauce was left the kids loved them that much must admit i will neever go back to normal curried sausages

  24. My husband loves curried sausages so I decided to try this recipe and WOW it was just so yummy ? and it is so very easy
    Hit in our house that’s for sure !!

  25. CHRISTINE BLAIN September 4, 2020

    I was a bit concerned about using mango (I don’t like it), but couldn’t taste it at all. This is a lovely, mild, curry … reminiscent of the curried sausages my mother used to cook in the 1970s!

  26. Finally tried this last night after hearing about it. It was amazing will not be making normal curry sausages again. Winner in our house

  27. Sharon Aashwell Scanlon September 8, 2020

    had these very nice the sausages I used were not very nice though I got from the butcher would super market ones be better the sauce was delish

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central September 9, 2020

      You could definitely swap up sausages to whichever were your favourites 🙂

  28. Ally Di Francesco September 11, 2020

    So easy and the whole family licked the bowl! When I make them again, I think I’ll add some green beans and/or broccoli at the end too so it has some crunch, but this will go on rotation now. I doubled the recipe for our family and it worked well.

  29. We have never tried this combination before. The whole Family loved it and the suggestion of additional cream to mellow it out worked beautifully. I will be trying this recipe with Chicken but I’m sure it will work fine. Thank you Paulene for another taste sensation.
    Steve.

  30. This was a great success, will definitely make it again. The flavour was to die for and was so easy to make.

    Will be on my weekly rotation from now on…Just YUM

  31. Melissa Mary Clark October 13, 2020

    Better than shop bought. Everyone in family loved it. Definitely making again, so easy

  32. First time trying this recipe.
    The best curried sausages I have ever made.silky smooth . Served with garlic skinned potatoes and Brussels. Even added carrots to the sausages. Partner loved it.

  33. Rachel Gregory October 16, 2020

    This is a family favourite! Nice and mild for the kids & with lots of flavour.

  34. Kelly Tickle November 8, 2020

    My new favourite curry! Absolutely delish, I served it with basmati rice & sweet potato mash. Will be making this from now on. Highly recommend.

  35. Have made this will be the only way in will eat curried sauagues again yummy yummy

  36. Alison Armstrong August 29, 2021

    Made this for the first time yesterday, family loved it, especially 2 year old grandson who had seconds! I used chicken sausages and added extra curry powder, also added veggies: potato, carrots and green beans. Served with shallots, chopped red chilli and coriander for the adults. Delish ?

  37. This is a favourite in our house. Usually 2 or 3 bowls each for the kids! (6,8). Simple , easy and delicious!

  38. Absolutely Delicious
    Will be a favourite in my home
    So easy to make
    Loved it
    Thank you for a great recipe

  39. I substitute the sausages for chicken sausages or boneless chicken thigh.
    I also add diced capsicum in the last hour of cooking.
    Massive favorite in my house.

  40. Absolutely delicious. Even my partner throughly enjoyed it even knowing he doesn’t really like mango

  41. Firstly I don’t even like Mangoes. I’ll go as far to say that I hate Mangoes! But this is AMAZING. On the regular rotation at our house, everyone loves it. I add sliced carrots and we always have it with Jasmine Rice. It’s a winner!

  42. Oh my YUMMMM!!!! this curry was a huge hit, had a lovely flavour added a few green veges & served with sweet potato mash!! Plates wiped clean, will definitely make again, using different meats as well!! Absolute ? will make again for sure!! Thanks for the recipe ?

  43. Judith Innes August 8, 2022

    Made this recipe today.house smelt amazing.tasyed great.will make again.I added 16 sausages & some frozen peas/corn/carrot.still had plenty of sauce.

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central March 21, 2023

      Sure, just be sure you are using a large slow cooker though as with 24 sausages and all the rest it will be very full once doubled

  44. Richard Thompson September 2, 2023

    4 stars
    Great recipe. As usual, followed the recipe first time and have made some changes: for last 3 hours, added half cup uncooked rice and one cup water..
    I have also substituted 750g bone-in skinless chicken thighs for the sausages.

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central September 4, 2023

      That’s a great idea using the chicken Richard!!
      And thanks so much for so many amazing feedback comments left today xx

  45. 5 stars
    Was needing a curry sausage recipe and this one came up . I’m always up to test and try out new foods /recipes on the husband lol …. This was so yummy even the 5 yr old grandkids gobbled it up in record time . This one is another favorite for sure . Will try it with diced chicken thigh next time .

  46. Huh… so I thought this might be overly sweet (because of the mango) but it wasn’t at all and totally delicious! Thanks Pauline for another fabulous recipe 😃

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central July 11, 2025

      That’s awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing your feedback Jenny 🙂
