This 5-minute Tandoori Mayonnaise Sauce is the perfect combination of rich, smoky flavors of tandoori and the creamy goodness of mayonnaise. Such a delightful twist to your regular mayo!
Ingredients
For the Mayonnaise (or use 1 cup of regular mayonnaise):
- 300 grams silken tofu (10.6 oz) sub with 1 cup cashews, soaked in hot water for at least 30 minutes + ¼ to ½ cup water
- 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar sub with lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon agave syrup sub with any other liquid sweetener
- ¾ teaspoon mustard (optional)
The Spices:
- 1 clove garlic
- 1.25 cm ginger (0.5 inch)
- 2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 Tablespoon paprika powder
- ½ teaspoon chilli powder feel free to add more later on, up to 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Peel and finely mince the garlic and ginger.
- Add all the ingredients to a tall cup. Using an immersion blender, blend for about 15-30 seconds until smooth. You can also use a normal blender for this.
Notes
- Feel free to juse use 1 cup of regular mayo if you already have it on hand. Then just add the spices for some tandoori flavor.
- You can substitute the silken tofu using 1 cup cashews (soaked) plus ¼ to ½ cup of water.
- Soak the cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes so they soften.
- When adding the water, start with ¼ cup. If it still looks hard to blend, then add 1 more Tablespoon of water, check, and continue until you get the desired consistency.
- Storage: Store your Tandoori Mayonnaise in an airtight container in the fridge. It stays fresh for up to a week.
- Meal prep: If you're into meal prepping, make a big batch and use it throughout the week. It adds a great flavor to really whatever you want to use it with. However, for the best flavor, it's recommended to consume it within 3-4 days.
