Mustard Seeds—known across India as Rai or Sarson—form the foundation of countless regional dishes. Their sharp, nutty flavour and distinctive aroma bring alive everything from curries to pickles. At Spice Chariot, we source premium mustard seeds that are fresh, clean, and full of natural potency.

In Indian kitchens, the crackle of rai in hot oil marks the beginning of flavour. Whether tempering dals, making kadhi, preparing Bengali fish curry, or crafting tangy pickles, mustard seeds infuse dishes with a depth that is both rustic and comforting. Their flavour is woven into the culinary traditions of almost every Indian state.

Our mustard seeds are naturally dried, carefully sorted, and handled to preserve their essential oils, ensuring a strong and vibrant aroma. When ground or crushed, they release a sharp, earthy heat—perfect for marinades, spice blends, and traditional mustard pastes used in East Indian cooking.

From the hearty sarson gravies of Punjab to the aromatic chutneys of South India, mustard seeds bind regional cuisines with a shared flavour heritage. Spice Chariot brings you rai in its purest form—potent, aromatic, and essential for authentic Indian cooking.
