oil/fat
Oil
4.5 g1 teaspoon
14 g1 tablespoon
Oil density about 0.92 g/ml; 4.93 ml/tsp = 4.5 g.
Instead of Oil
Vegetable oilUse the same weight. It is neutral and behaves the same in frying and tempering; no noticeable change in flavour.
Corn or vegetable oilUse the same weight. Neutral and good for high heat; the dish will taste virtually the same.
Groundnut oilUse the same weight. It has a mild nutty flavour and is good for Indian cooking; heat until just hot, not smoking, so the nuttiness does not dominate.
