Vegan ghee (coconut oil blend)
Nutty, aromatic and stable at high heat - a solid stand-in for tadka, sweets and greasing tavas.
Method
- 1
Heat both oils on very low flame in a small kadai.
- 2
Add fenugreek seeds and curry leaves. Let them sizzle gently for 2-3 minutes until aromatic - do not burn.
- 3
Stir in turmeric. Take off heat and let cool completely.
- 4
Strain through a fine sieve into a glass jar. Store at room temperature; solidifies in cool weather.
Note
Nutralite Vegan Ghee and Emkay Vegan Ghee are ready-to-buy options if you don't want to make it.
