This is the everyday Indian use: dal you already cook, greens on top, no extra chilli if the mustard is doing the heat.

Mustard microgreens go on after the tadka. Heat dulls them. One pack is many dinners, not one bowl.

Dal tadka finished with a pinch of mustard microgreens so the plate wakes up without extra chilli.
