In the Netherlands we use the condiment for fries and snacks like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wobben.org\/en\/our-home-life\/at-home\/how-to-make-frikandellen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"frikandellen like in the recipe we posted last week (opens in a new tab)\">frikandellen like in the recipe we posted last week<\/a>. If we use the combination of mayo, curry ketchup and cut up raw onions, we call it &#8220;speciaal&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As this is my absolute favourite condiment, I also love to use this on many other dinner ingredients as well as breakfast items instead of regular ketchup. I find ketchup a bit too vinegary, so a spicy and sweeter variety is right up my alley! Another favourite use is on sandwiches&#8230; with cheese with curry as my number one hands down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"h4post wp-block-heading\">Sweet and spicy, but not really hot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I realize that factory made curry ketchup probably starts with some basic tomato ingredient and not half ketchup and half water, but this recipe was so spot on for us, that hardly tinkered with it!! Except lower the amount of sugar a bit. It is a tad spicier than the store-bought variety. Not so much in heat, but more in flavour like from the black pepper and curry powder. For that, we like this sauce even more than the original these days! A while back we found small bottles of Hela curry ketchup at one of our Superstores, but it was an export version&#8230; even less spices \ud83d\ude41 No thank you, I&#8217;ll just keep making this easy recipe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"h4post wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>500 ml or 2 cups tomato ketchup<\/li><li>500 ml or 2 cups water<\/li><li>3\/4 cups sugar<\/li><li>1\/4 cup ketjap manis (sweet soy sauce)<\/li><li>4 tsp curry powder <\/li><li>2 tsp paprika<\/li><li>2 tsp black pepper<\/li><li>1\/4 tsp ground clove<\/li><li>2 tbsp cornstarch (to thicken)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"h4post wp-block-heading\">Notes:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; use a good quality tomato ketchup<br>&#8211; it&#8217;s pretty sweet, I usually use only 1\/2 cup sugar<br>&#8211; the ketjap manis I use (typically a key ingredient for Indonesian recipes) is thick and syrupy (brand available in Asian stores here in Canada is ABC). If you only have regular soy sauce you can add 1\/4 cup brown sugar or just leave it out if you want to cut some sugar in the recipe anyway<br>&#8211; I make double batches and have rounded the spice amounts for easy measuring to 3 tbsp curry powder, 1 tbsp paprika and 1 tbsp black pepper<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"h4post wp-block-heading\">Preparation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Add everything except the cornstarch to a pot, stir and bring to a gentle boil. Thicken with cornstarch (dissolved in some cold water first). Store in containers or bottles. I keep it in the fridge and it stays good for very long, it just may separate a bit and need a shake every now and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wobben.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/191231_15_newyearseve-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"deepfried frikandellen with curry ketchup and mayo\" class=\"wp-image-6870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wobben.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/191231_15_newyearseve-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wobben.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/191231_15_newyearseve-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wobben.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/191231_15_newyearseve-140x105.jpg 140w, https:\/\/wobben.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/191231_15_newyearseve-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wobben.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/191231_15_newyearseve-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/wobben.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/191231_15_newyearseve-846x635.jpg 846w, https:\/\/wobben.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/191231_15_newyearseve-1184x888.jpg 1184w, https:\/\/wobben.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/191231_15_newyearseve-1320x990.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/wobben.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/191231_15_newyearseve.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>serving curry and mayo with the frikandellen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This recipe is known (and being quoted online) as the recipe of a certain &#8220;expat Case Florida&#8221;, but there does not seem to be an original posting online anymore.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curry ketchup is my favourite condiment!
