Ghee or butter

Ghee

4.6 g1 teaspoon

14 g1 tablespoon

Ghee ≈4.4 g/tsp; butter ≈4.8 g/tsp; use 4.6 g/tsp for the stated option.

Instead of Ghee or butter

Ghee
Use the same weight. Gives a richer aroma and nuttier taste; if the dish already uses butter for finishing, ghee can make it slightly heavier.
Butter
Use the same weight. Lower smoke point than ghee, so keep the heat moderate; if unsalted, add a small pinch of salt.
Vegetable oil or ghee
Use about 90% of the weight. Less rich flavour; good when you want a lighter result.
