Oh definitely! My kids don't like it to burn this much, so when they are here, I make a much milder version, still just as yummy, but it doesn't knock your socks off 😝 I use normal, mild curry powder instead. I don't find that the hot mustard powder is that spicy, but it does bring another depth of flavor. I don't always use chakalaka as well, I chop fresh veggies and leave it in with the beef from the start to soften. I have to say, the chakalaka brings a lot of flavor and a bit of oiliness that I love, but even a can of Koo curry vegetable mix works, that is what my mom likes to use. I love easy recipes that you can play with, with what you have around the house.
