Do you need to have a sauce with anything? I know I do! Whenever I’m eating pretty much anything from fries to potato-stuffed parathas, I bring on the condiments! I don’t know about you, but I’m not particularly a fan of dry food, and I find having plenty of dipping sauce options makes a meal significantly more exciting. Sometimes I lay out three spreads at a time just so I’ve got options and I can mix and match!
My new favourite has been this Thai-style mayo!! This tangy homemade dip is light and fresh and it’s perfect for dipping vegetables, chips, and crackers, and you can even spread it on sandwiches, burgers, or simply over protein! This versatile mayo will get ready in minutes in just one bowl and will transform your meals with a bit of heat and Thai goodness!

What is This Curry Mayonnaise Recipe?
This is an aioli made with mayonnaise and Thai ingredients. An aioli is simply a word to describe an elevated mayonnaise recipe. We use mayonnaise as the base and add a variety of ingredients to spruce it up. Restaurants make a variety of aiolis to add to their sandwiches or for dipping on the side.
From my research, this is actually a British recipe and is inspired by Indian flavours. Let me know if you want to see an Indian version of this mayo and I’d be happy to deliver! However, in this case I wanted to create a Thai version as I’ve been really into experimenting with Thai cooking lately! Is Thailand a destination unseen for you too? If so, then be sure to use this dipping sauce as part of your Live to Cook one-month challenge! I describe in my free motivational guide Make Cooking Fun!! how using what you have can spark some creativity to make new things! If you’ve got this new mayo laying around in your fridge, you’ll want you use it in plenty of ways! Check out my serving suggestions later on to keep you busy in the kitchen!

Ingredients
We only need 5 simple ingredients for our recipe! For full ingredient quantities and instructions, scroll to the bottom of this post for the FULL PRINTABLE recipe card. You can also scale the recipe based on how much mayo you want to make, so you can either make a little bit for a single meal, or a big batch to use in multiple recipes! All individual ingredient quantities will automatically adjust so you don’t need to worry about ratios!
Mayonnaise: Can’t make our mayo without the star of the show! I recommend you use real mayonnaise and full fat for best creaminess and taste. For bonus points, you could even use homemade mayo! However, if you are watching your waistline, then you can go for the lighter mayo options, but keep in mind it won’t be as thick or as tasty in my opinion. Furthermore, if you want to make this mayonnaise vegan, simply substitute with a vegan mayo.
Red curry paste: Use the Thai red curry paste to give this mayo a Thai flair.
Sambal Olek: This is a Thai red chilli paste. If you can’t find it, you can substitute with sriracha or chilli garlic sauce. I chose this because it doesn’t contain garlic and it’s not as spicy.
Soy sauce: Simple regular soy sauce will work just fine with our mayo.
Lime: Use the juice of one lime. Alternatively, you can use bottled lime juice if that’s what you have on hand! You can substitute with lemon as well. This adds some acidity to the dip and brings all the flavours together.
How to Make This Curry Mayo Recipe
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk well until combined.
Serving suggestions
This recipe will make a fairly large batch! We always discourage food waste here, so my goal is to give you plenty of recipe inspiration so that your Thai Curry Dipping Sauce disappears in a flash!
Fries: You can dip Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries, Air Fryer French Fries or even Air Fryer Waffle Fries in your mayo!
Sandwiches & Wraps: Try it in my Quick & Easy Grilled Chicken Sandwich, McDonald’s Sausage McMuffin, or a Farmer’s Wrap.
Burgers: This would be awesome in my McSpicy Paneer Burger or just a Classic American Cheese Burger!
Other snacks: Try also dipping your Air Fryer Crescent Roll Pigs in a Blanket, Air Fryer Sausage Rolls, Buttermilk Fried Chicken, or even Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers!
Protein: This would be a great spread or dip for Italian-Herb Grilled Chicken Breast or Crispy Skin Blackened Salmon!
Potatoes: Switch up your Potato Salad or Creamy Mashed Potatoes by mixing this in!
Eggs: This can be nice to drizzle in an omelette or use this for Instant Pot Deviled Eggs!
Is This Curried Mayonnaise Dressing Spicy?
Made with Sambal Oelek, this mayo is not very spicy, as this mayo recipe is not intended to be spicy, but rather to give off excellent Thai flavours in whatever you’ll be dipping or spreading this with. Our dip has a touch of heat from the chilli paste, but we’re not adding too much. If you would like to have a spicier Thai Curry Dipping Sauce, you can add more Sambal Oelek and/or more red thai chilli paste. You could also substitute the Sambal Oelek for sriracha.
How to Store This Thai Mayo
You can store your mayonnaise in a mason jar or in an airtight container if you would like to spoon your mayo out. If you want to drizzle the mayonnaise, then store it in a squeeze bottle. This mayo will last about 2 weeks in the fridge.
