Stir mayo and curry powder together until evenly blended.
Add lime or lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust. Chill for 10–15 minutes before serving for best flavour.
Notes
Use fresh curry powder. Old or dull spice will make the mayo taste flat—grab a new jar if it’s been open for months.Choose quality mayo. A good-tasting mayonnaise is the backbone of this recipe; avoid “light” versions that separate easily.Curry powder can stain plastic utensils or containers—use glass if you can.Store smart. Keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 1 week; give it a quick stir before serving.
