Margarine/Butter Substitute
"Ghee" is clarified butter that is often used in Indian cuisine. Apparently they make a vegan version too! I found ghee at my local Indian grocer. They had a couple of varieties, one of which was hydrogenated and the other was mostly palm oil. Either way, not healthy. But it works better than regular oil as a butter substitute and doesn't contain any soy. Several brands are available, so if you can't find any at a store near you just do a google search.

I totally know this local Indian grocer, don't I? I wish that every block had one--cooking would be so much better if I could find 16lb jugs of rice down the street, not to mention the bulk spices...
