Mustard Powder

Mustard powder is a fine, yellow or white powder made from grinding mustard seeds (typically from the Brassica plant family). It’s commonly used as a spice in cooking and can be found in many culinary traditions, especially in Western and Indian cuisines.

Uses:

• Condiments: Mustard powder is an essential ingredient in making prepared mustard sauces, such as Dijon and yellow mustard.
• Seasoning: It can be added to dressings, marinades, and sauces to add heat and tang.
• Cooking: Mustard powder is often used in spice mixes, pickling, and in recipes for meats and vegetables.
• In Indian Cuisine: Mustard powder is a key ingredient in many curry and spice blends (like garam masala) and is often used in tempering (called tadka), where it’s briefly fried in oil to release its flavor.
