Fiery red and bursting with bold flavours, this Spicy Mustard-Chilli Mayo is an instant Indian twist on plain mayo. Red chillies lend their vibrant hue and smoky kick, while mustard powder adds sharpness and depth. The zesty lemon juice rounds out the spices. Drizzle this spicy, tangy mayo over sandwiches and wraps, or serve as a dip with pakoras, kebabs and finger foods. The 15-minute recipe makes enough for 3 people.
Sunrise tip: For an even spicier dip, add 1/4 tsp of freshly cracked black pepper.
