What is Ghee?

Healthy Indian Cuisine with Alisha: Ghee

There are many different fats and oil used for cooking. Each region of the world has their own favorite. In the tropical climate of India, people prefer ghee, a non-perishable alternative to butter.

Ghee is basically butter that is clarified. It is heated until liquid fats and milk solids separate. Then the milk solids are removed and this gives way for a distinctive flavor which is a stronger nutty flavor.

Indian foods are fattened and blessed with a brush of ghee. It makes the taste of the food so different by only putting a spoon full on your curries especially like Saag (Spinach), Dal (Lentils), Vegetarian Jalfrezi.
