Pure Indian Foods Ghee

 What is Ghee?
Golden colored Ghee is prepared by melting and simmering unsalted butter until all the water evaporates and the milk solids settle at the bottom. The remaining butter oil is very stable, giving it a high smoke point which makes it an excellent choice to use for frying and sautéing and it can be stored without refrigeration for several months. Ghee is also known as Indian Clarified Butter, Drawn Butter, Butter Oil, Ghee Butter or Anhydrous Milk Fat (AMF).
