Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates on contact. Place the sausages on the grill, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. You should hear a gentle sizzle and see grill marks forming.
Watch outAvoid piercing the sausages, as this will cause them to lose their juices and become dry.

Warm the curry ketchup in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking. The sauce should become slightly more fluid and fragrant as it heats.

Once the sausages are cooked, transfer them to a cutting board and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Arrange the pieces on a serving plate, allowing the steam to rise and carry the scent of grilled meat.

Generously pour the warm curry ketchup over the sliced sausages, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Sprinkle a pinch of curry powder on top for an aromatic finish.
