Related to Ghee
Butter
Butter is the natural stand-in for ghee, since ghee is made from butter. They are close in weight (227 g vs 218 g per cup), so swap 1:1 by volume. Butter has a lower smoke point and still contains water and milk solids, so it browns and burns sooner; keep ghee or clarified butter for high-heat frying. See our Butter converter.
Vegetable Oil
Vegetable oil replaces melted ghee in frying and in cakes that need a neutral fat. It is almost identical in weight (220 g vs 218 g per cup) but skips ghee's nutty, caramelised flavour and its high-heat richness. Use it where the flavour of ghee is not central to the dish. See our Vegetable Oil converter.
