Once the sauce starts thickening, switch off the flame and transfer it to a glass bowl.
Keep this bowl on the kitchen counter for 3-4 hrs and then store. Store in the glass bowl only to avoid any reactions and refrigerate upto 2 weeks.
Tips:
1. Don’t boil the wine and onion and garlic mixture too much otherwise the broth will be bitter in taste.

Hi Dijon mustard is our all time favourite I always stuggle to buy it at the super market since most of the time it is out of stock. Your recipe is a rescuer and
I'll surely try it out:):)
One question, have you used yellow mustard seeds or black mustard seeds to make mustard powder?
It is life saver for me Gauri. You already know how difficult it is to find this sort of thing around our places.
Indeed Veena. There is nothing better than homemade stuff 🙂
