Curry Tartar Sauce

This curry tartar sauce makes a delicious condiment for battered fried fish. It's a traditional tartar sauce that's spiced with curry powder and garam masala. The curry powder gives the sauce a delicious curry flavor that is complemented by the warmth of the garam masala. Together the two spice blends work beautifully with the tart pickles (in a similar way to these refrigerator cinnamon pickles).
