Kasundi (Bengali mustard chutney)


Kasundi is a mustard based sauce that comes from Bengal. It’s also eaten in Bihar. Lots of versions are there by adding tomatoes and raw mangoes. I just wanted a basic one and here it is. Strong and delicious. It can go with so many dishes. Mixed with boiled potatoes, green veggies, eaten with spring rolls or fried snacks. Endless options. It’s healthy too as it has garlic and mustard. Both have medicinal qualities. 

INGREDIENTS 

4-5 tbsp mustard seeds (soaked in water for 2-4 hours)

4-5 tbsp garlic chopped 

2-3 green chillies (I used red ones)

2-3 tbsp mustard oil 

Salt 

Turmeric( optional) 

Water 

2-3 tbsp apple cider vinegar

METHOD

1. Grind all the ingredients together till it comes together as a paste. 

2. Mix mustard oil and water as needed. 

3. It’s ready to eat, but tastes better as it ages. 

4. Serve with every possible thing! I plan to eat with savory waffles.
