Main Protein:
- None
Main Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons (3 fluid ounces) mayonnaise
- 2–3 teaspoons (10–15 milliliters) mild curry powder
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) mango chutney
Spices and Additional Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) ground cinnamon
- 1–3 tablespoons (15–45 milliliters) sultanas
Instructions
- Whisk together mayonnaise, curry powder, ground cinnamon, and mango chutney in a medium-sized ceramic mixing bowl until smooth and fully integrated.
- Gently fold in golden sultanas (raisins), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the creamy sauce.
- Taste the mixture and fine-tune seasoning with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
- If the sauce appears overly dense, gradually incorporate 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) of filtered water or fresh lemon juice to achieve a more fluid, drizzle-friendly consistency.
- Transfer the vibrant Coronation sauce into a clean glass jar with a tight-sealing lid, ensuring no sauce residue remains on the rim.
- Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and intensify, and store for up to 5 days in the coldest section of your refrigerator.
