Modison Premium Black Mustard Seeds (Rai / Sarson)
Bring the bold, crackling energy of authentic Indian cuisine to your kitchen with Modison Premium Black Mustard Seeds. Known as Rai, these tiny, potent seeds are the heartbeat of South Asian tempering. Sourced for their high pungent oil content, our black mustard seeds offer a sharper, more intense heat and a deeper nutty aroma than yellow or brown varieties.
An essential for any gourmet pantry, these seeds are prized for their ability to transform a simple dish into a fragrant masterpiece with just a few seconds of high-heat sautéing.
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.
Produced and packed in a facility that also handles wheat, gluten, nuts, peanuts, mustard, sesame, and soya. Please refer to the physical packaging for the most accurate and up-to-date allergen information.
