Ghee & Honey
Ghee in Everyday Cooking: Flavour, Portions and Storage
Simple ways to use ghee in traditional meals, plus what to check before buying.
A familiar kitchen ingredient
Ghee is used in many traditional Indian recipes, from a small finishing spoonful over rice to tempering spices and preparing sweets. Choose the amount according to your recipe and household preferences, keeping your overall diet in mind.
Everyday ways to use it
A little ghee can finish a roti, accompany dal and rice, or carry spices in a tempering. When making sweets, follow the recipe closely because changing the fat quantity can affect texture. Use the manufacturer's cooking guidance rather than assuming every product is identical.
Keep moisture out
Use a clean, dry spoon and close the jar after use. Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the label. Avoid introducing food crumbs or water into the jar, and ask the store if the packaging or product condition concerns you.
Read the label first
Confirm quantity, MRP, ingredients, dairy allergen information and responsible manufacturer or packer details. A2 describes a milk-related product designation; it is not, by itself, proof of organic certification or a disease-treatment benefit. People with milk-related dietary restrictions should seek qualified advice.
