Black vs. yellow mustard oil: which should you use?

Both Jiva Tattva oils are expeller-pressed and come in 1 L bottles. Black mustard oil brings a bolder mustard flavour. Yellow mustard oil is milder, which can suit dishes where you want the other ingredients to come through.

Choose black for a pronounced mustard flavour

Try it in aloo gobi or for the tadka on a dal. Follow the amount and cooking method in your recipe.

Choose yellow for a milder base

Try it for sautéing vegetables for poha or making a jeera tadka. If you’re comparing the two, cook the same recipe on separate days and keep the other seasonings the same.
