Tips
Ghee is a type of clarified butter that originated in India. Butter is slowly melted so milk solids sink to the bottom of the pan while the golden liquid rises to the surface. The liquid is simmered until most of the moisture evaporates and the solids begin to caramelize, giving ghee a nutty flavor and aroma. The solids are then extracted. Removing the lactose and casein (a milk protein) makes ghee better tolerated by those who have dairy sensitivities. A little goes a long way to add flavor to foods.
