The wasabi-like warmth of golden-yellow mustard oil matched with the fragrance of curry leaves offers this mayonnaise its daring flavorful character. Use it as you’ll common mayonnaise: as a dipper for French fries and roasted potatoes, and in your sandwiches. I wish to apply it to summer time tomato sandwiches, with a number of crispy fried curry leaves as a garnish.

This recipe will be additional tailor-made to your style. For instance, for an additional kick of warmth, you should utilize cayenne as a substitute of crimson chile powder, and to provide the mayonnaise a deeper yellow colour, you may add 1/4 of a teaspoon of floor turmeric.
