Ingredients

• 2 cups Ketchup
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Sauté the finely minced onion in the olive oil until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the curry powder, smoked paprika, ground allspice, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and bring out their aroma.

Step 4

Add the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and water to the pan. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 6

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust sweetness or tanginess by adding more brown sugar or vinegar if desired.

Step 7

Remove from heat and allow the curry catsup to cool slightly.

Step 8

Transfer to a clean jar or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Step 9

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
