Ghee

oil/fat

Ghee

4.4 g1 teaspoon

13 g1 tablespoon

Density of clarified butterfat is ~0.90 g/ml, giving ~4.4 g per tsp.

Instead of Ghee

Nothing truly replaces the toasted, nutty dairy flavour and clean high-heat frying performance of clarified ghee.

Unsalted butter
Use 120% of the weight; melt gently over low heat to avoid burning the milk solids, which will yield a softer, creamier richness rather than a nutty aroma.
Vegetable oil
Use 85% of the weight; holds high cooking temperatures without smoking, but the final dish will lack traditional dairy depth.
Mustard oil
Use equal weight; heat to smoking point and cool slightly before cooking, bearing in mind it introduces an assertive, pungent edge.
