Dry-frying Mustard Seeds

Mustard seeds have almost no smell until they are heated, so before adding them to dishes, they should be dry-fried to heighten their aroma.

Method:

1. Heat a little sunflower oil in a deep, wide pan. Add the seeds and shake the pan over the heat, stirring occasionally, until they start to change color.

2. Have a pan lid ready to prevent the mustard seeds from popping out of the pan.
