Equipment
Blender
Mixing Bowl
Measuring Jug
Ingredients
- 2 no Eggs
- 1 cup Oil Use plain olive oil or vegetable oil , I used refined oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
- 1 tablespoon Water
For Flavoring Mayo
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi Paste
- 2 teaspoon Chilli Flakes
- 2 cloves Garlic grated
Instructions
- 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.
- Separate egg yolks using a egg yolk separator or using your hands. 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. You can use pulse mode as well. Now it must have turned little frothy.
- Now add in 2 to 3 tablespoon of the oil and pulse it for 5 seconds. By this time it must have turned little thick. Add in 2 tablespoon oil again and pulse for 5 seconds. By this time it must have turned little more thick. Now add in the remaining oil little at a time and pulse for 5 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. Add chilli flakes, garlic or wasabi paste as required. Mix it well and serve with your favorite snacks.

Notes
- Using immersion blender is best. you can use hand blender or food processor too.
- if you dont have mustard seeds, you can add either mustard sauce, mustard powder or ground mustard.
- Vinegar can be used instead of lemon juice.
- Use room temperature egg for best result. Since it has raw eggs in it, use the eggs which are fresh and you are confident with. And store the mayo in fridge.
- Only egg yolks should be used.So separate the egg yolk carefully.
- If you find the mayo curdled. Don't 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.
