There comes the ultimate dipping sauce. One of my all time favorite, i can slather this sauce in all this edible. There is nothing compared homemade, i dont prefer that jarred mayo which they have packed years back. I love that creamy goodness which is made fresh at home. It taste really yummy, you got to try this one..
Whenever i make mayo at home, i add some garlic, because garlic mayo is seriously addictive. I have got so many request from you all to post this recipe, and finally i made it couple weeks back. I decided to make two types of mayo, a spicy chilli mayo and a pungent garlic mayo..
I love to serve this with chicken fry, grilled chicken, chicken croquettes..It taste so good. But the most favorite dish of mine is fried onion rings, that is what i made..Will share the recipe soon..

Preparation Time : 10 mins
Makes around 1 cup to 1.5 cup of mayo
Ingredients:
Egg Yolk – from 2 large egg
Oil – 1 cup / 240 ml ( Use plain olive oil or vegetable oil ) , I used refined oil
Salt – 1 tsp
Lemon Juice – 2 tsp
Mustard Seeds – 1 tsp
Water – 1 tblspn
For flavouring mayo:
Chilli Flakes – 2 tsp
Garlic – 2 cloves
Method:
Start by making mustard powder. I didn’t have any, so i took some whole mustard seeds in a mortar and pestle and crushed it to make powder.
Take egg yolk(no whites please) in a small blender (use small jar from your blender), add in lemon juice, salt, water, mustard powder and blend them for 30 seconds. Now it must have turned little frothy.
Now add in 1/3 of the oil and blend it for 30 seconds.By this time it must have turned little thick.
Add in 1/3 of oil again and blend for 30 more seconds. By this time it must have turned little more thick.
Now add in the remaining oil and blend for 30 more seconds. Now you find the mayo to be thick and creamy.
You can use this as it is. Or go one step further like i did. I divided the mayo into two bowls. Add chilli flakes in one and minced garlic in other. Mix it well and serve with your favorite snacks.
Notes:
1)This can be stored in a air tight container for for 2 to 3 days in fridge.
2)Since it has raw eggs in it, always keep the mixture cool.
3)Use the small jar from your blender. Big jars wont work.
4) Only egg yolks should be used.So separate the egg yolk carefully.
5)If you find the mayo curdled. Dont panic. Start with a new batch. Take couple of egg yolks and use the curdled mixture as the oil, slowly add it and blend it. This way you will get a perfect mayo.

@Christofher JoyI think it will taste good. But add more garlic to get more garlic taste. And also some grated cheese on top would be good
hi aarthi , first of all your baby look cuty , just want to ask , my unty says that the oil should be put little by little or else mayo will get curdle
Hi Aarthi
What is the shelf life for this mayo?
How do we preserve this? Since egg yolk is used I am concerned.
Thanks

@AnonymousU can store it in a air tight container in fridge for 2 to 3 days.
@AnonymousThat method is when you make mayo with hand whisk. This is the easier option and more quicker way of doing mayo

hello aarthi . the mayo turned out bitter. half way while grinding I tasted it and was bitter so I stopped adding more oil and grinding . I followed exactly same steps so what could be the problem
hey arthi it turned out bitter . what could be the problem . I stopped the process half way
@Anonymousi think u must have added too must mustard, so it has made it bitter
Till the second time of adding the oil it was correct… Third time I added it curdled… Then tried adding two more egg yolks… It did not work out too… Wat to do now
@Sumii think u added too much oil at once
can i use rice bran oil ?
@Ravi KumarYes u can
Can we use cocunut oil?
@Aarsha Vijayancoconut oil will be very dominating. so use normal flavourless oil
Hi my mixture is watery and curdled …. What do I do now ? Is it a waste?
@Ridhwanahtake two more egg yolks and instead of adding oil this time, slowly add in the curdled mix and beat
Hello Aarthi. Nice recipe. Was looking for this since long. One query pls. Can we give this to a 11month old baby as a dip for some snacks or bread sticks? Pls reply. Thanks in advance. Happy Women's day too.
