Black mustard seeds are less commonly utilised than brown or yellow mustard seeds, and they are significantly more difficult to come by. The flavour is stronger and more powerful as the seed gets smaller and darker. The smallest of the mustard seeds, black mustard is oblong in shape. While mustard seeds are commonly employed in the preparation of condiments, black mustard is rarely used in this way due to its very volatile pungency.
The intense spicy aroma and flavour of black mustard seeds has earned them a well-deserved reputation. Black mustard seeds are commonly used in Indian cooking and are cooked in oil to make them sweet and mild while emitting a nutty scent. This is typically done in a kadai, an Indian wok.
