A quick and easy curry mayo that combines creamy mayonnaise with warm spices like curry powder and turmeric, perfect as a spread or dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, Greek yogurt (substitute half the mayo), chili flakes (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Measure your ingredients: Gather 1 cup (240 ml) of mayonnaise, 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of curry powder, ½ teaspoon of turmeric, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, ½ teaspoon honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper.
  2. Combine the dry spices: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the curry powder, turmeric, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the mayo: Spoon in the mayonnaise to the bowl with the spices. Using a whisk or fork, blend until the color is uniform and there are no lumps, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Mix in lemon juice and honey: Add the fresh lemon juice and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until well incorporated.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning: Add more curry powder, smoked paprika, lemon juice, or salt as desired.
  6. Optional fresh herbs: Fold in chopped cilantro if using.
  7. Chill for flavor melding: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  8. Final stir and serve: Stir the mayo before serving. It should be creamy, smooth, and perfectly spiced.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Adjust spice levels gradually to avoid overpowering. Chilling for at least 30 minutes improves flavor melding. Use quality full-fat mayonnaise for best texture and taste. For vegan version, use vegan mayo and maple syrup instead of honey.
