To start off serve it with sauteed spinach greens and rice or mashed potatoes and rice. You are supposed to mix the veggies, rice and a drop or two of kasundi to get the flavor.<br /><br />Next add it in lieu of mustard paste to fish or veggie dishes that need mustard paste. I have baked many a salmon marinated in kashundi and mustard oil.<br /><br />You can also use it as you would use the Dijon Mustard but sparingly. Use it as a dip for chop and fish fries.<br /><br />Your husband has not touched Kashundi and is a Bengali ? Don't trust him :)Bong Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-49396710410901566932012-10-22T14:21:30.091-04:002012-10-22T14:21:30.091-04:00Hi...

I have just inherited a bottle of Kasundi. But for the life of me, I cant understand its function. My hubby declares that he hasnt touched the stuff... ever! But he said the same for koraishutir kachuri as well. So I dont trust him! <br />I would be very grateful if you can help me use it.

I am specfically talking about mustard saice (known as Kasundi in Bengal) and using mustard as a sauce (musstard fish or sorse Isish in Bengali). Interestingly msimilar mustard usage exists in the west, mustard sauce is a staple with hotdogs and hamburgers, and I have also eaten canned mustard fish. I personally believe that it is the British that introduced mustard usage to the Bengalis and they then morphed it some levels more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-19597901088532285272007-02-24T23:20:00.000-05:002007-02-24T23:20:00.000-05:00Thats a lovely post Sandeepa!!!! :) Nice pic as we...Thats a lovely post Sandeepa!!!! :) Nice pic as well!! :) <BR/><BR/>Rub them on the toes......

Never had shukto with shorshe bata, that must be unique. Favorite is however dharosh with shorshe bata. <BR/><BR/>Shorshe bata should always have a little salt. It can then be kept for longer periods of time (upto a month) It acts as a preservative and for some not used to mustard paste takes the edge of it. <BR/><BR/>Mustard oil is good for dandruffs and stops greying of hair but is not proved. :)<BR/><BR/>Ghoti comment was just fun. But esho if you happen to pass by. The entire family ofcourse. :))Kausumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193997055345401489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-90539260531135703212007-02-19T12:00:00.001-05:002007-02-19T12:00:00.001-05:00HAHA!
