🌿 Kali Sarso (Black Mustard Seeds)
Kali Sarso are the small, dark brown to black seeds of the mustard plant ($Brassica\ juncea$ or $Brassica\ nigra$), a fundamental spice in Indian and South Asian cuisine, often referred to as Rai or Black Mustard.
Key Attributes
Appearance: Tiny, spherical seeds ranging from dark brown to pure black.
Flavor Profile: They possess the strongest, most pungent and volatile flavour among the common mustard varieties (black, brown, and yellow).
Culinary Function: Their primary role is in tempering (Tadka). When heated in oil until they crackle and pop, they release a sharp aroma and a rich, nutty flavor that instantly enhances dishes like dals, curries, pickles, and vegetable preparations (sabzi).
Health Focus: Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, and potent antioxidants (including selenium and magnesium), they are valued for supporting heart health and aiding digestion.
Kali Sarso is essential for adding a distinct, pungent warmth and authentic aroma to traditional Indian cooking, delivering both bold flavor and nutritional benefits.
