Make a few shallow cuts in the bratwurst to prevent them from bursting while cooking.

In a small saucepan, combine 16 ounces of tomato sauce with 2 cups of water and swirl to mix.

Add 2 tablespoons of curry powder, 2 tablespoons of paprika, 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, and 2.5 teaspoons of salt to the saucepan.

Whisk the ingredients together and add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to counteract acidity.

Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once the sauce has thickened, turn off the heat and pour it into a bowl to cool down.

Heat a pan with a few centimeters of vegetable oil until hot.

Gently place the bratwurst in the hot oil and cook for about 1 minute on each side until they have color.

Remove the bratwurst from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Chop the bratwurst into bite-sized pieces and plate them up.

Drizzle the cooled curry sauce over the bratwurst and sprinkle with additional curry powder.
