Avalulu (Mustard Seeds)

Avalulu, also known as mustard seeds, are small, flavorful seeds widely used in Indian cooking for tempering and seasoning. When heated in oil, they release a strong aroma and enhance the flavor of curries, dals, chutneys, and vegetable dishes. Mustard seeds add a slightly spicy and tangy taste to recipes and are an essential ingredient in many traditional dishes, especially in South Indian cuisine.
