What is "ghee"?
Ghee, a type of clarified butter, is a staple in many South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines, known for its rich, nutty flavor and high smoke point. To make ghee, butter is melted and simmered until the water evaporates and the milk solids separate and are removed. What remains is a clear, golden liquid with a deeply aromatic taste and a creamy texture. Ghee is prized for its versatility in cooking as it can be used for frying, sautéing, baking, and even as a spread. Rich in fat-soluble vitamins and healthy fatty acids, ghee is considered by many to be a healthier alternative to regular butter. Its long shelf life and intense flavor make it a beloved ingredient in a wide range of dishes, from savory curries to sweet desserts.
