oil/fat

Coconut oil

Nariyal Tel

4.5 g1 teaspoon

14 g1 tablespoon

Coconut oil density about 0.92 g/ml; 4.93 ml per teaspoon gives about 4.5 g.

Nothing replaces coconut oil's aroma; these only match its fat function.

• 
  Vegetable oil

  Use the same weight; it is neutral and will not add coconut aroma.

• 
  Groundnut oil

  Use the same weight; mild and good for frying, but no coconut flavour.

• 
  Ghee

  Use the same weight for richness; it adds a dairy aroma and is not vegan.
