I will give you some pointers, try and see.<br /><br />1. I use a blender called Magic Bullet(here in US). With that the paste comes out really good. MY bigger mixer does a poor job of making mustard paste.<br />2. Soak the mustard seeds with salt for about 30 mins and then make the paste.<br />3. While making paste, try to do it at one go. The stop&go makes it more bitter. At home this was done using the sil-batta and the taste would always be right, the mixer blades do not emulate same result<br />4.Use yellow mustards seeds, or use part yellow, part black<br />5. If you are in India, you can also use the sachet of Mustard Powder from Cookme, they also work well.<br />BongMomhttp://www.bongcookbook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-66238189680313830372012-08-13T06:56:52.642-04:002012-08-13T06:56:52.642-04:00Hi, I am a primarily South Indian cook newly conve...Hi, I am a primarily South Indian cook newly converted to the Bengali dal-bhat-posto menu and I usually go by your recipes, successfully! But this time, though I went by your measurements, the mustard paste (with the yellow ones) turned out quite bitter.
