Notes
• I’ve tried different types of tofu for this recipe, from extra firm to silken soft, and the best one is the silken Tofu (Firm). For the rest of the options, you need to adjust the recipe by adding more ingredients to fix the consistency. And since I wanted an easy homemade mayo recipe for my meals with only a few ingredients, I loved the results of Silken Tofu (Firm).
• Chill the mayo for at least one hour before using it. It blends all the flavors and, it helps with the right consistency.
• If for any reason, the consistency is a little bit runny for you, you can add 1 tsp of arrowroot at a time to fix it. It works wonders!
• If you’re avoiding salt for any reason, you can skip it on this recipe and add some herbs, onion, or garlic powder instead to the preparation or just to the meal where you are using this mayo.
• The black salt (Kala namak) eggy flavor is strong, so I recommend not adding the full 1/8 tsp if you’re trying this ingredient for the first time. Start for a pinch of it, and add the rest if you like it. I personally love it! And if you don’t like it, skip it entirely.
• If the date is not very soft, it can be soaked in hot water for about 15 minutes before preparing the mayonnaise. Particularly if the blender or food processor does not have very powerful blades.
