Clarified Butter (Ghee)

Clarified butter is unsalted butter that has had the milk solids and water removed. After this process the butter will keep longer, up to two months, and has a higher smoking point. Many wonderful Indian dishes are prepared with clarified butter such as:

• Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken)
• Lobster is excellent with this butter
• Gaajar Ka Halwa (carrot pudding)
• Besan Ka Laddoo (gram flour sweet)
• Malpua (pancakes in syrup)
• Mughlai Biryani
• Lehsuni Daal (garlic flavored lentils)
• Sarson Ka Saag

Just recently, Quartermaster Food and Container Institute for the Armed Forces developed Clarified butter. This was especially made for the storage life overseas for our troops. Clarified butter makes very rich and creamy soups and sauces. Candies are especially tasty since using clarified butter because it’s smooth consistency and rich flavors. It is especially great on popcorn since the moisture is removed it will not make your popcorn soggy.
