Good luck! Perhaps, if you are willing to wait a long time but I don't
think most buffets are particularly responsive to special requests and
I've never seen anyone making them.
I might ask the waiter to hold the ghee in a regular Indian restaurant
but I'm generally reluctant to use *unusual* words from languages I do
not speak. Of course that's not the same thing as using established
names like Tikka Masala and I do know what some component words like
"Aloo" mean.
