Ghee:
The Golden Cooking
Oil of Ayurveda
Ghee
is the cooking oil of choice in ayurveda. It is made by cooking
butter to remove all the milk-solids and water, so that what's
left is a pure golden oil with a royal flavor and aroma. Once
you have cooked with ghee, you'll never go back to using oil
or butter again! Ghee can be used
for sautéing, stir-frying, deep-frying, baking, for popcorn,
or as a spread. It's so flavorful that you'll need much less
ghee than butter or other kinds of oil.
