In recent years, the craze for street food has gained immense popularity, especially among the younger generation. From bustling markets to roadside stalls, people are increasingly drawn to quick and flavourful bites. With this growing love for street eats, the demand for sauces and condiments, particularly mayonnaise, has become almost a necessity.
Whether it’s Italian, Chinese, or any other Western cuisine, people now prefer pairing their food with mayonnaise or other savoury sauces to enhance taste and texture.
Over time, mayonnaise has also secured a spot in our households. It’s no longer limited to restaurant menus or takeaways; people are now enjoying their homemade snacks with mayonnaise, too. However, the store-bought varieties are often loaded with artificial flavours, preservatives, and additives. Regular consumption of such products is said to pose potential health risks over time.
Interestingly, the majority of the market sells mayonnaise made with eggs, and only a few people are aware that you can make a healthier, eggless version at home. It’s simple, quick, and made with easily available kitchen ingredients. Here’s how to make your own creamy, delicious eggless mayonnaise at home.
Ingredients For eggless mayonnaise
- 1 cup oil
- 1/4 cup cold milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
- salt to taste
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
Recipe
- Combine all the ingredients in a narrow-mouthed container or jar and mix using a blender or fork.
- Continue blending until the ingredients are well combined. If needed, you can also use a mixer.
- The mixture will begin to thicken and take on a creamy texture.
- Transfer it to a clean glass bowl.
And that’s it, you’ve got homemade eggless mayonnaise. You can use it as is or customise it for added flavour. Finely chop your favourite vegetables, add them to the mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper, and use it as a veggie dip. You can also enhance the flavour of corn by mixing it with mayonnaise, a bit of tomato ketchup, salt, pepper, and red chilli powder.
