Home-made Rich Mustard Paste Recipe

Home-made Yellow Mustard paste is an awesome accompaniment for your sandwiches, burgers. It even goes well with a wholesome Chicken or Mutton dish by lending a unique flavor!

Growing up, one of my favourite foods was Mom’s yummy sandwiches and burgers made with mustard paste. It was often part of our healthy snack sandwiches for school recess. The sweet and spicy flavour of this paste or sauce goes well with a number of foods. And mom had a secret ingredient that made the paste tastier and richer.

What ingredients do you need to make Mustard Paste?

Mustard Seeds (Rai in Hindi), Dry Kashmiri Chillies or Red Chillies, 1 pod of Garlic, Sugar, Salt, Cashewnuts or Peanuts and Wine or Vinegar.

How to make home-made Mustard Paste

The secret to making the mustard sauce richer the way my mom does is to add cashewnuts or peanuts to it. Of course, cashewnuts trump peanuts any day. But both will work.

In a Mixer-Grinder, grind the cashewnuts or peanuts to a paste along with the salt and sugar. Next, add the Mustard Seeds, dry red Kashmiri Chillies and garlic flakes. If you do not have Kashmiri Chillies, you can use any spicy red chillies that are available in your area. Lastly, add in the vinegar and grind to a paste.

Depending on the thickness and tanginess of the paste, you can add more vinegar. Also, it’s up to you whether you want to get the paste really fine or coarse. We love the texture when it’s a bit coarse; much like we love chunky peanut butter more than creamy peanut butter.

And the mustard paste is ready to use!
