Homemade Curry Ketchup is easy to make with just 7 simple ingredients. This recipe combines bottled ketchup with curry powder, worcestershire sauce, and a handful of pantry spices for a quick, easy, flavorful sauce that elevates any of your favorite dippers!
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of dipping sauces. From Spicy Mayo to Yum Yum Sauce to Honey Mustard and more… if you ask me, sauce is BOSS!!
There’s just something about a good dipping sauce that makes whatever you dip it in even better. And this homemade Curry Ketchup is no exception. It’s sweet and savory with just a touch of heat… and it’s especially delicious with french fries or potato wedges.
It’s one of my go to sauce orders at my favorite local restaurant, and I love that it’s a non-creamy alternative to aioli. And aside from being a delicious dip for fries and onion rings, it’s also absolutely amazing on burgers, hot dogs, or any foods you typically enjoy with ketchup!

I looove curry ketchup! I’d never even heard of it until I lived in Germany back in the early 80s. I got somewhat hooked on the stuff while living there and have made it quite a lot back home in the states. I’ve never added sweetener but tried your recipe because, other than the sweetener, it’s almost exactly how I make it. I really love this. Next time I’ll use a little less honey because I think it’s a tad sweet for me, but otherwise it’s fabulous.
