Signature Black Mustard Seeds

Signature Black Mustard Seeds — Tiny Seeds with a Bold Tempering Character

Signature Black Mustard Seeds, known as Kalo Shorisha, deliver a sharp, nutty aroma when heated in oil. Their small size belies their strength: they are central to Bengali tempering, fish dishes, pickles, vegetable preparations, and mustard-based recipes. Used correctly, they add a distinctive savoury bite and familiar regional character.
