- Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pot from the heat and let the curry ketchup cool slightly.
- Transfer the ketchup to a tall, narrow container. Using an immersion blender, purée the mixture until smooth, about 3 minutes. Let the mixture cool completely, then thin with water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you your desired consistency is reached. The curry ketchup can be made up to 1 day before serving. To serve, top the fries with the curry ketchup, mayonnaise, and chopped onion.
- For the garlic chipotle mayo: Cook the garlic cloves in a small, dry skillet over medium-high heat until the cloves are golden with some black spots, about 9 minutes.
