Many of us remember a pan of malai, saved over weeks, being churned into butter and then simmered until the kitchen smelled of toasted milk. That golden liquid poured off the browned solids is ghee, and most Indian cooking would feel incomplete without it.

Cow ghee is usually a pale yellow, while buffalo ghee is whiter and often a little heavier. Some ghee sets into a grainy, danedar texture, some stays smooth; makers also describe methods such as bilona churning on their labels. Tadka for dal, a spoonful on hot rotis, halwa, laddoos and the diya on puja days all use ghee.

Ghee is a regulated dairy product, so trust the pack more than appearance. It should state the milk source, an FSSAI licence number, the manufacturer's name and address, the packing date and a best-before. Treat descriptive words as the maker's own claims.

Use a dry spoon and keep the jar shut and away from the stove.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

What is the difference between cow and buffalo ghee?
Cow ghee is generally yellowish and lighter in flavour, while buffalo ghee is whiter and richer. Choice usually comes down to family habit and taste.
What does danedar mean?
Danedar describes ghee that sets into fine grains rather than a smooth mass. Texture also changes with room temperature.
How should ghee be stored after opening?
Keep it covered in a cool, dry spot and always use a clean, dry spoon. Water getting into the jar shortens its life.
Can edible ghee be used for a puja diya?
Many households light diyas with the same ghee they cook with. Follow your own family or temple practice.
