Instead of Mustard oil
No neutral oil can truly replicate the fiery, pungent aroma and sharpness of raw mustard oil.
Peanut oilUse equal weight. It handles high-heat cooking well, but lacks the signature pungent, nasal heat of mustard oil.
Vegetable oilUse equal weight. Neutral in flavour, so your curry will lack the characteristic Bengali or North Indian pungent punch.
