Frying the mustard seeds at the beginning is crucial in releasing their flavour, so be sure to see this first step through in order to produce the most flavoursome side dish. This can be used as part of your main meal simply by adding some roasted seasonal veg and a piece of fish or lean meat, or simply as part of a buffet when entertaining friends and family. If you or who you’re catering for have an allergy to peanuts, simply swap over your oil used to one that suits.
