Brown mustard seeds

Brown mustard seeds used in the tempering of dhal and vegetables.

Cooked in ghee they give a fiery and pungent flavouring to any dish. They have a stronger flavour to their yellow counterpart.

In Ayurveda it balances kapha and vata as well as imparting a pungent, warming aroma to food. Brown mustard seeds sauteed in fats (ghee or oil) are used frequently in lentil or spiced vegetable dishes.
