Step-by-Step Instructions for Currywurst Sauce

In a medium saucepan, add 1 finely chopped onion and heat it over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until translucent and fragrant.
Once the onions are translucent, stir in 2 tablespoons of curry powder and cook for another minute to release essential oils.
Mix in 1 cup of tomato puree, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Stir thoroughly to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
Remove the pan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly for about 5 minutes before serving.
