Instead of Curry leaf oil
Vegetable oilUse the same weight; warm gently with 10 fresh curry leaves per 100 ml, cool and strain. Mild but works.
Mustard oilUse the same weight; heat to smoking then cool before steeping curry leaves. Pungent and authentic in some regions.
Coconut oilUse the same weight and steep curry leaves gently; gives a South Indian aroma but changes the flavour.
