- Separate yolk from an egg and transfer the yolk to a mixing bowl. Break an egg gently and collect the contents on to your fingers. Let the albumen drip through your fingers, leaving the yolk behind.
- Add salt, pepper powder, palm jaggery and lemon juice. Using a wire whisk, whisk and emulsify the yolk for 2 minutes.
- For one egg yolk, we will need 50ml of sunflower oil. Add oil to the emulsified egg mixture in drops and whisk simultaneously. Ensure that each drop is mixed and integrated well.
- Whisk briskly for 10 minutes as you empty 50 ml of sunflower oil in drops. Exercise patience and make sure not to add the whole oil at once. It will be a disaster.
- After 10 minutes of whisking, you will be left with a creamy, flavourful mayonnaise.
Use the homemade mayonnaise right away or store in a sterilized container and refrigerate for later use.
