Rai

3.3 g1 teaspoon

10 g1 tablespoon

Small mustard seeds at about 0.67 g/ml give about 3.3 g per level teaspoon.

Instead of Mustard seed

Nothing truly replaces the popping texture and sharp heat of whole mustard seed, but black mustard seed is the closest.

Black mustard seed
Use the same weight. The seeds are smaller and hotter; fry in hot oil until they pop, about 20–30 seconds, and reduce the heat if they darken too fast. The dish will be a little sharper.
Yellow mustard seeds
Use the same weight. They are milder and larger; fry a few seconds longer until they pop. The finished dish will have less pungency.
Ground mustard seed
Use 70% of the weight of whole seed, added with the other ground spices rather than fried whole. You lose the popping texture and the heat comes through more evenly.
