black mustard
Spicy seed plant
Black mustard is a plant whose small, dark seeds are ground into pungent mustard paste or used whole as a spice.
The seeds have a sharp, biting flavor stronger than yellow mustard seeds.
In Indian cooking, black mustard seeds are often fried in oil until they pop, releasing their distinctive aroma: Toast the black mustard seeds until they begin to crackle.
