If you have some spare time and nothing better to do...throw a handful of mustard seeds in a pot. Watch them grow. Study the green coloured plant. Once it flowers..enjoy ther yellow colouring and how beautifully it contrasts with the leaves. The beauty when the sun lights it up. Soon the flowers will be replaced with pods full of mustard. Dry them in sunlight. Rub it between your palms and blow the seed pods away...you will have mustard. You can use it to season your food..or use it as a natural colourant on your clothes and art.
Use mustard leaves in a combination with methi leaves and some sore leaves like sorrel/ chakotha/ bathua and make some sarson da saag..top it with butter and serve with makki roti..
Mustard generates heat in the body and is usually consumed/ served in hilly regions during winter. To balance the heat it is generally accompanied with butter and jaggery
Go figure!! ❤️❤️
Tip : if you find it hard to roll out makki rotis just pat the dough in plantain leaf or parchment paper
