Print Recipe

Hare Krishna Vegan Mayonnaise is a creamy and delicious condiment, inspired by the principles of bhakti yoga. This rich mayo combines simple, wholesome ingredients to create a versatile addition to your meals. In the tradition of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, cooking and offering food to Krishna is an act of love and devotion, known as bhakti. Each dish is prepared with care, mindfulness, and a pure heart, making it not just a meal but a spiritual offering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup aquafaba (juice from a can of garbanzo/chickpeas)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cane sugar
  • 1–2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (or 1 teaspoon ground mustard seed powder)
  • 1–1 1/2 cups sunflower oil (or any neutral oil, e.g., avocado oil, grapeseed, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a tall, narrow container, combine the aquafaba, apple cider vinegar, cane sugar, salt, and mustard.
  2. Start Blending: Place the immersion blender at the bottom of the container and start blending on low speed.
  3. Add Oil Gradually: Slowly pour in the oil while blending. This gradual addition is key to achieving a stable emulsion.
  4. Increase Speed: Once the mixture starts to thicken, increase the blender speed to high until the mayonnaise reaches the desired consistency.
  5. Adjust Thickness: The more oil added, the thicker and creamier the mayo becomes. Adjust to desired consistency.

Notes

  • Adjust Seasoning: Adjust the amount of salt and mustard to suit taste preferences.
  • Add Lemon Juice: Adding fresh lemon juice will make the mayo a bit brighter and flavorful.
  • Serving Tip: Use the mayonnaise as a base for various sauces by adding herbs, spices, or other flavorings.
  • Storage: Store the vegan mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
