Ghee is a type of clarified butter, which originated in ancient India.
Organic Ghee, a rich golden colour fat derived by cooking whole milk for an extended period to remove its moisture and milk solids (mostly protein). At 250C, ghee has a smoking point well above that of most vegetable oils, making it an ideal fat for deep frying or cooking at high heat.
Ghee is an integral part of any authentic Indian meal. It is known to add richness and impart an irresistible aroma to the food. Apart from its use in the kitchen, ghee has also been used in traditional medicine and religious rituals since ancient times.
