Re: How to thicken soup without cornflour?

For real, Mirch? i thought he was giving the recipe of mayo :smack:

Re: How to thicken soup without cornflour?

Mayo made by emulsifying egg and oil together.

There is a common misconception that it is a milk or flour based product!

Re: How to thicken soup without cornflour?

I am under no such misconception. I was just trying to save the mayo!

Re: How to thicken soup without cornflour?

Oh sorry chai I misunderstood your post, it was a general comment anyway not specifically towards you.

I hope you dont mind my following comment annoying but I think what you actually made was more a hollandiase sauce rather than mayo?

Re: How to thicken soup without cornflour?

No, actually, the consistency was not as liquid or as sour as hollandaise. There are recipes for cooked mayo out there, so that's why I tried the suji and cooking as a last ditch effort to save the mayo. The way I usually make it is:

Toss 1 egg in the blender. Zip it a bit with some salt, sugar and garlic, a dash of tabasco or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Then add alternately, a little at a time, 1 cup olive oil, and the juice of 1 lemon. It will thicken up fairly quick (as long as a thunderstorm isn't approaching and it is not monsoon!) Adjust the tartness/sweetness/saltiness to your taste. The main thing to remember: 1 egg, 1cup oil, 1 lemon.
