Please let me know how to prepare mayonnaise and mustard sauce.
P.K. Saigal, Tilak Road
TO PREPARE mayonnaise: Take one egg yolk, separating from egg white. Stir the yolk by slowly adding 120 ml oil. Later add some salt and pepper to taste. Add some lemon juice.
Béchamel sauce (white sauce) - 6 portions. Take a thick-bottomed pan. Cook 200 gms flour and 200 gms butter together. Sauté for a while. Meanwhile, keep warm 500 ml milk ready aside. Mix warm milk to warm roux i.e., cooked flour and butter. With the help of wire whisk vigorously and see lumps are not formed. It is safe to strain the sauce, season it with salt and a pinch of nutmeg. Sprinkle a few knobs of butter and keep aside to be used as required.
For mustard sauce: Take four large spoons of cooked white sauce. Add little milk and warm water, whisk till smooth. Add pre-made mustard paste to this béchamel. Strain and it is ready to be used.
