Instead of Brown mustard seeds
Black mustard seedUse 75–80% of the weight; it is sharper and more pungent, so temper briefly and do not over-brown.
Yellow mustard seedsUse the same weight, or 1.1 times if you want more heat; they are milder and rounder in flavour.
Mustard powderUse half the weight; mix into wet ingredients rather than hot oil, as it burns easily and lacks the seed crunch.
