Mustard oil from Real Value in a 475 ml bottle, golden and pungent, for South Asian curries, tempering spices, pickles, fish and vegetable dishes.
Real Value Mustard Oil comes in a clear bottle with a white cap, showing the golden oil through the clear bottle. The orange label carries the red Real Value badge, mustard oil in white on a navy band and the Arabic name زيت الخردل in red, with a drawing of a flowering mustard plant over mustard seeds, and a net content of 475 ml in English and Arabic. As general background, mustard oil can mean the pressed oil of the mustard plant, used for cooking. Commonly, cooks in Bengali, Bihari, Punjabi and Kashmiri kitchens heat mustard oil until it just smokes to mellow its sharpness, then temper whole spices in it for fish curries, vegetable dishes and dals, and use it in mango and lime pickles and marinades. The photos show spices dropped into a hot pan of oil on a gas flame, and a bottle with stir-fried vegetables and rice in a kitchen.
