Excellent for frying and sauteing
Although there are a few dishes which would not taste the same if fried or sauteed in ghee like Chinese, almost every dish can be cooked in desi cow ghee. The taste of desi cow ghee is something which you will get addicted to and forget using any other cooking fat for frying and sauteing. The smoke point of ghee is much higher as compared to any cooking oil which makes it the best option for deep frying as well.
Use it as a dressing on hot and warm dishes
You don’t have to always use the ghee for cooking. It tastes divine even if you add a generous spoonful of ghee to you regular or sticky rice. It instantly adds a nutty flavor to the rice. Alternatively, you can even add the ghee on the top of hot and spicy Indian curries. (Adding plain ghee on any Indian dish will only enhance its flavor beautifully)
Bread and Toasts
Indians swear by this! Any bread is incomplete without a spoon of desi ghee poured on it. Be it a chapati, Roti, Paratha or simple breakfast bread. Just spread some Ghee on warm toasted bread, and you are good to go. The ghee prevents the bread from drying so you can even carry it in a lunch box.
Greasing the pans
If you are baking or setting a dish, ghee is a great greasing option. The process is simple. Just grease the pan with some ghee exactly like you would with butter and dust it with some flour in it. Done! No sweat.
Baking
Believe it or not, Ghee makes the best cakes and cookies. Just substitute the butter or margarine with desi cow ghee and follow the exact process that you would follow otherwise.
So? When are you getting your own bottle of Ghee?
