This is a classic mustard sauce or condiment that is used in Bengali cuisine (both India and Bangladesh). The version presented here is the Indian version of the sauce. This is a beautifully pungent, sharp and colourful condiment using black and yellow mustard seeds.

Ingredients:

125g Black mustard seeds
125g Yellow mustard seeds
1 tbsp ground Coriander seeds
1/2 tbsp Turmeric powder
1/2 tbsp Ginger, finely chopped
2-3 Green chillies, coarsely chopped
2 Lemons
2 tbsp Sugar
4 tbsp Vinegar
Salt, to taste
Water, as needed

Method:

Wash and drain the mustard seeds then place in a blender along with the green chilies, chopped ginger, coriander powder, turmeric powder, sugar and salt

Pulse 2-3 times to render the ingredients to a coarse powder then add 4-5 tbsp of water and pulse to combine then blend to a smooth paste.

Transfer the sauce into a well sterilized glass jar and store in your refrigerator.

Use as a flavouring for curries or as a condiment in place of mustard.
