Modison Black Mustard Seeds

The Ultimate Tadka: The definitive starting point for Dal Tadka, Sambar, and Coconut-based curries. When added to hot ghee or oil, they "pop" to release a toasted, savory fragrance that infuses the entire base of the dish.

Artisanal Pickling: A cornerstone of Traditional Indian Pickles (Achar). Their natural preservative properties and sharp, fermented tang are essential for preserving mangoes, carrots, and chilies.

Vegetarian Specialities: Perfect for dry vegetable stir-fries (Sabzis) like sautéed cabbage, okra, or potatoes, adding both a visual pop and a peppery crunch.

Regional Foundations: A staple in South Indian and Maharashtrian cooking, providing the characteristic zest for chutneys and tempering for savory snacks like Dhokla.

Crunchy Garnish: Lightly toast and sprinkle over yogurt-based Raitas or fresh salads for a sophisticated, spicy contrast.
