Unfortunately he ingredient list on the jar just says 'spices.' It
doesn't say which ones nor does it give the proportions. It's just a
list rather than a recipe.

My next tries will be with cardamom alone, and then with garham masala.

Anyone who has lived in a foreign country for a length of time, rather
than visiting as a tourist, as had to learn to "make their own,"
especially with foods.

I was afraid that the wine vinegar would give it a Dijon taste, and I
really wanted to avoid that. Several of the recipes called for cider
vinegar so that was my first choice. Now I'll try the original recipe
with plain vinegar, more of it, some horseradish for 'bite.' and the
Indian spices for the sweetness. The experimenting in itself is fun!
