Mustard oil is available in two varieties: filtered and refined. If you are using filtered mustard oil, you will need to first heat it until it reaches its smoking point, then let it cool completely before using. If you are using the refined variety, you can use it straight away. In either case, please use mustard oil that is labeled specifically for cooking. If you cannot find it, regular vegetable oil will work just as well.
