Is tandoori mayo the same as masala mayo?
While both Masala Mayo and Tandoori Mayo bring vibrant Indian flavors to the table, they are not exactly the same. Masala Mayo generally combines mayonnaise with a blend of Indian spices, offering a versatile, mildly spicy condiment. Tandoori Mayo, on the other hand, specifically infuses mayonnaise with tandoori masala, giving it a distinct smoky, tangy, and slightly spicy flavour reminiscent of traditional tandoori dishes. Both are delicious, but Tandoori Mayo has that unique tandoori kick!
