Coriander and butter

Dhania aur makhan

5 g1 teaspoon

15 g1 tablespoon

Butter is about 4.7 g/tsp; chopped coriander lowers the mixture slightly, so ~5 g/tsp.

No single ingredient replaces the pair; it is simply coriander leaf worked into butter.

• 
  Coriander leaf

  Use the stated weight of coriander leaf and the stated weight of butter separately; chop the leaf and mash into soft butter. If only one weight is given, use equal weights.

• 
  Ghee

  Replace the butter weight for weight with ghee and mix with the same weight of chopped coriander leaf; gives a nuttier aroma.

• 
  Coriander chutney

  Use the same weight as the coriander component and stir into the same weight of soft butter; looser and sharper.
