Toasted sesame oil

Til ka Tel

4.5 g1 teaspoon

14 g1 tablespoon

Sesame oil density about 0.92 g/ml; 4.93 ml tsp gives about 4.5 g.

The strong toasted-sesame aroma is not truly replaced; untoasted sesame oil is the closest.

• 
  Sesame oil

  Use the same weight but expect a milder aroma; add a few toasted sesame seeds if you have them.

• 
  Mustard oil

  Use only 50-60% of the weight and heat it until the raw smell fades; the flavour will be pungent and different.

• 
  Vegetable oil

  Use the same weight for cooking, but it gives no sesame flavour; toast sesame seeds separately if possible.
