Black mustard seeds are best toasted or lightly fried in oil or ghee (clarified butter), which tempers the bitterness of the raw seeds and brings out their full flavor, then crushed before use. In mustard recipes, they should be typically soaked overnight to tease out the fullest expression of their complex taste and aroma.
