In Indian cooking, mustard oil not only enhances the taste, but it also contains some nutrients which are very beneficial for health. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties, which are very important for the body. Always heat mustard oil “till it smokes”, so that its pungency reduces and it is easy to digest. Today we will tell you about some vegetables and dishes which when made in mustard oil, their taste and nutrition both doubles. Let's know in detail.
