Meet Yellow Mustard: From Seed to Oil
The milder, more everyday of our two mustard oils, suited to tempering and general sabzi.
Yellow mustard is the more approachable of our two mustard oils, milder and rounder than black, and it is the one most households across North India already reach for without a second thought.
Quick introduction
- Pressed from a milder mustard seed, kachi ghani style, with no added heat during pressing.
- The default bottle in most North Indian kitchens for everyday tempering and general sabzi.
- Milder and easier to work with than black mustard oil, needing less adjustment to get comfortable cooking with it.
- A sensible everyday choice if you only want to keep one mustard oil stocked.
- Still benefits from a light smoke before cooking, though the effect is subtler than with black mustard oil.
- A dependable everyday bottle for a kitchen that cooks a broad mix of North Indian dishes.
