Author Notes
In Ayurvedic medicine, ghee aids digestion, treats anxiety, retains memory, and promotes the immune system. Ghee is as important to the Indian cooking as butter is to French cuisine. As it may be similar to clarified butter, the process of simmering the butter is much longer, up until the popping sound of the water subsides and the milk solids sink down to the bottom. The result is a golden clear liquid that holds a rich nutty aroma. —FrancesRen
