about the spice
This quintessential piquant Bengali mustard paste is perked up by brown mustard along with yellow mustard seeds. The brown variety adds more pungency than its yellow counterpart and pairs perfectly as a wet fish rub. Occasionally confused with black mustard, brown mustard is pungent, hot and peppery and native to India. The whole mustard seeds are devoid of any distinct flavour and aroma; it is only when they are heated or pounded that the true flavours are released.
