Easily Available Ghee Substitutes

Easily Available Ghee Substitutes

A Popular Ingredient for making curries and recipes in Indian cuisine,  Ghee is clarified butter. You may need Ghee Substitutes if you run out of it or are looking for a vegan option or are just  trying to replace ghee for dietary reasons.

1.  Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has similar nutty flavor like ghee. Though low in smoking  point, coconut oil can be used for cooking daily meals, baking  desserts, or add creamy flavor to smoothies/ dips.

3. Sesame  Oil

Sesame seeds are one of my favorite and I use them in pastas, Ladoos  and on chili potatoes. They are naturally rich in oil and the sesame oil  is indeed a healthy choice.

Avocado has nutty, grassy and mild flavor and is considered the best vegan ghee substitute. Mostly they taste like avocados.

5. Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil has mild and little flavor. It doesn't add much flavor  to the food which is cooked in it. It has high smoking point just like  ghee and is best suited for frying food.

6. Mustard Oil

A very commonly Indian oil used in vegetable cooking is mustard oil.  Strong in flavor, mustard oil has anti fungal properties making it best  for Pickles and dry vegetables. It adds spicy touch to the vegetables.

7. Butter

Since ghee is a clarified butter, butter makes a decent ghee  substitute. Butter is closest to taste in ghee and though less in fat  part, it gives similar flavor to the dish.
