Yes. Nitra mayonnaise is eggless and vegetarian. It gets its creamy texture from an emulsion of oil and other ingredients, so you can use it anywhere you would use regular mayonnaise. Check the label for the full ingredient list.

Use eggless mayo the same way as regular mayonnaise: in sandwiches, burgers, wraps, coleslaw, pasta salads and dips. Mix it with herbs, garlic, chilli or mint chutney for quick flavoured dips. Keep it refrigerated after opening and use a clean spoon each time.

Once opened, keep mayonnaise tightly closed in the refrigerator and use it within the period stated on the pack. Always use a clean, dry spoon and do not leave it out at room temperature for long, especially in hot weather.

Most tomato ketchups are vegetarian, made from tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, salt and spices. Some people following Jain or no-onion-no-garlic diets check labels for onion and garlic. Always read the ingredient list on the pack if you follow a specific dietary practice.

Refrigerate ginger garlic paste after opening, keep the lid tightly closed and use a clean, dry spoon. For longer keeping at home, freeze homemade or opened paste in small portions, such as an ice cube tray, and use them straight from the freezer.

Tamarind chutney (imli chutney) is a sweet and tangy sauce used on chaat such as pani puri, bhel puri and dahi vada, and as a dip for samosas and pakoras. It pairs well with mint-coriander green chutney for a balance of sweet, sour and spicy.

After opening, keep jam refrigerated with the lid on and use a clean spoon each time. Most jams keep for several weeks in the fridge; follow the guidance on the jar. Discard the jam if you see mould or notice an unusual smell.
