Heera Black Mustard Seeds – 6x1kg

Description

Heera Black Mustard Seeds: the little seeds that crackle and set a dish going.

Black mustard seeds are a foundation spice across South Indian cooking and in pickles and chutneys. When they hit hot oil, they pop and turn nutty, releasing a flavour you cannot get from the raw seed. Heera sells them in a generous format: the 6x1kg case means six 1kg packs, ideal for kitchens that temper oil all day and for keen cooks who want to buy once and cook often.

Key Features

• Sharp, nutty flavour that develops as the seeds pop in hot oil
• Six 1kg packs give strong bulk value and steady stock
• Central to tarka, South Indian dishes, pickles and chutneys
• Whole seeds keep well, so aroma stays fresh in the cupboard
• A little goes a long way, so cost per dish stays low

Cooking 

Heat oil, add the seeds and wait for them to crackle before adding curry leaves, onions or other spices. Use in pickles, dals, vegetable dishes and dressings. Take care as they can jump, so a lid helps.

Storage

Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct light and reseal the pack after use to keep the seeds fresh.
