Umandawa Mustard Seeds are made from organically grown mustard plants, naturally dried and prepared using traditional methods to preserve their distinctive flavour, aroma, and natural character. Mustard has long been an important ingredient in Sri Lankan kitchens, valued for its bold taste and ability to enhance a wide variety of traditional dishes. These carefully prepared seeds offer an authentic way to bring the rich culinary heritage of Sri Lankan spice traditions into everyday cooking.
With their naturally pungent aroma and warm, slightly sharp flavour, mustard seeds are a versatile pantry essential. Traditionally used in Sri Lankan households for both flavour and digestive support, they are ideal for tempering curries, preparing pickles and achcharu, seasoning vegetables, and adding depth to sambols, sauces, and other savoury dishes. When gently fried or tempered, the seeds release a rich aroma that enhances the overall flavour of a recipe.
How to Use: Use in cooking to add flavour and aroma to your dishes. Temper in hot oil before adding to curries, vegetables, pickles, sambols, and other recipes, or use according to your preferred cooking method. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and aroma.
