As every foodie knows, the right condiment can make a dish. Condiments turn ordinary, everyday dishes in something deliciously enjoyable to eat. Years ago, Gilbert discovered a gourmet ketchup that he slathered on most everything he ate. As the company grew, mayonnaise and mustard were added to their product lines. Within 7 years of being founded, the brand was so popular (probably due to Gilbert’s patronage!) that the original founders of the company were able to sell it to a national conglomerate of consumer goods. Unfortunately for Gilbert, gourmet ketchup was eventually dropped from their product lines.
Fortunately for Gilbert, other consumers also enjoyed the curry flavored ketchup. When it was no longer available for purchase, fans of the product took to their kitchens and devised their own recipes. Many shared their versions across the internet. Knowing that Gilbert would be immensely appreciative, I made a batch of the condiment for him when he visited. Curry ketchup has a few more converts these days!
This version of curry ketchup is a blend of ketchup and curry powder that also includes paprika, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and honey. It has just a hint of spiciness to it. For a hotter version, 1/2 teaspoon of the sweet paprika can be replaced with 1/2 teaspoon of hot paprika. Use curry ketchup as an upgraded replacement for ketchup and barbecue sauce.
