I wonder how the umami of the curry powder and the bold flavors of garlic combine with the creamy mayonnaise to create an irresistible dipping sauce.

You can make this Curry aioli in about five minutes(similar to this jalapeno aioli), and my family loves it!

Why You'll Love This Recipe?

⭐️Delicious with a spicy and tangy flavor and with a creamy texture. 

⭐️Quick & foolproof recipe.

⭐️Versatile, enjoy with your favorite food.

Ingredients

  • Curry powder:  You can use store-bought curry powder or make your own homemade curry powder blend.
  • Mayonnaise: I've used light mayonnaise. Feel free to choose yours.
  • Garlic: How can a tropical recipe be complete without incorporating garlic? I have used fresh garlic, but feel free to use garlic powder or granulated garlic instead.
  • Lemon juice: In case you don't have lemon juice, you can substitute with apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, or lime juice

How To Make Curry Aioli Sauce?

  • Combine minced garlic, curry powder, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Using a whisk, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  • The curry aioli should look creamy and silky at this stage, with garlic tidbits evenly spread throughout the sauce.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the salt as needed. 
  • Cover the aioli with a lid or aluminum foil.
  • Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop fully.
  • Enjoy this aioli with vegetables, grilled meat, fries, or sandwiches.

♨️How To Adjust The Heat

The curry powder and ground black pepper determine the recipe's heat level and spiciness.

You can adjust the heat by adjusting the curry powder and ground black pepper amount.

The stores carry curry powder in two variations: regular and light. If you want less heat, opt for the light curry powder.

How To Use? 

  • As a dipping sauce: Serve with veggies, crackers, or other finger foods.
  • As a spread: You can use this aioli sauce as a spread over a sandwich or burger.
  • As a topping: for sliders, tacos, grilled meat, fish, or steak for extra deliciousness."
  • As a salad dressing, this aioli sauce is excellent, particularly for Mediterranean-style salads.
  • As Marinades. This sauce helps tenderize the meat and add flavor, thanks to the mayonnaise in this recipe.

Storing Leftovers

Transfer the aioli sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate; it will stay good for up to 3 days. When you're ready to use it, take it out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes, then give it a gentle whisk before serving.

Note that this aioli sauce does not freeze well. Freezing can cause the mayonnaise to crumble and separate.

FAQ

What variations can I try?

You can use Greek yogurt or light sour cream if you want a lighter version. You can also substitute coconut cream to make tropical-flavored coconut curry aioli.

What is curry aioli?

Curry aioli is a fusion of Mediterranean cuisine's classic condiment with the authentic curry flavors of Asian cuisine. It is excellent as a dipping sauce, topping, or salad dressing.
