Mustard Brown 1kg

Recipes & Uses

Essential for Indian Tadka & Tempering

Brown Mustard Seeds are a classic choice for tadka, where whole spices are briefly cooked in hot oil or ghee to release their flavour.

Heat a little oil, add the mustard seeds and allow them to pop and become aromatic before adding other ingredients or pouring the flavoured oil over dal, curries or vegetables. Use care when heating, as the seeds can pop vigorously.

Perfect for Curries & Dals

Use Brown Mustard Seeds at the beginning of Indian curries, dhal, lentil dishes and vegetable preparations.

They pair particularly well with cumin, turmeric, chilli, curry leaves and fenugreek.

Great for Pickling & Preserving

Whole Brown Mustard Seeds are excellent in pickling brines, chutneys and relishes.

Their pungent flavour works especially well with cucumbers, onions, cabbage and other preserved vegetables. SpicenEasy customers also specifically mention using the 1kg product for preserves.

Make Homemade Wholegrain Mustard

Crush or grind Brown Mustard Seeds and combine them with vinegar, water and your choice of seasonings to make a robust homemade mustard.

Compared with yellow mustard seeds, brown seeds produce a stronger, spicier mustard flavour.

Add to Spice Blends

Brown Mustard Seeds can be used whole or ground in curry powders and savoury spice blends.

Grinding the seeds gives you greater control over the texture and intensity of your seasoning.

Try Them with Roast Vegetables

Lightly crush the seeds and combine with oil and other spices before roasting potatoes, cauliflower, carrots or pumpkin.

Heating brings out their nutty character while retaining a distinctive mustard bite.

Brown Mustard Seeds vs Yellow Mustard Seeds

Brown Mustard Seeds have a stronger, more pungent and assertive flavour and are particularly popular for Indian tempering, spicy mustards and robust pickles.

Yellow Mustard Seeds are generally milder and tangier, making them well suited to gentler mustards, dressings and traditional European-style pickling.
