-serves 6
Ever tried using black mustard seeds in your curries? A staple ingredient in Indian cooking and often fried in oil alongside aromatic curry leaves, these minuscule black balls are a flavor bomb. I used them most often in dals and also in seafood curries, like this gorgeous golden mustard prawn recipe. With just a handful of ingredients and some fresh, deep-sea prawns, this spicy curry is ready within minutes. Served with steamed rice, this curried prawn dish is an absolute treat for your taste buds.
