Warm the lemon juice and water. Add saffron and let sit for about 10 minutes.
Finely chop the garlic and mash to a paste with the side of a chef's knife.
In a medium bowl or 4-cup measuring cup, combine all ingredients and whisk with a fork. Taste for sugar and salt.
Cook's Note: For a nice low-fat dipping sauce, mix Special Sauce into Non-fat Greek Yogurt to taste.

This looks really wonderful. I used to make a curry-chili-mayo that I'd totally forgotten about until I just read through your great-sounding recipe. I used mine for dipping artichokes leaves into, among other things. Thanks for this great recipe and the reminder of one I'd totally forgotten about!
Thanks, ChezSuzanne! Love the artichoke leaves idea!! Yum!
I love mixing Sriracha and mayo, but this takes it to another level. Can't wait to try it.
Hope you like it, Midge!
Man I bet that would be good on a deep fried soft shell crab sushi roll. Looks yummy.
Thanks! Go for it, Liz!
