Hill ghee smells nutty and lightly caramelised, from butter that was simmered slowly until the milk solids browned. The taste is fuller than a neutral dairy ghee and carries through a dish, and buffalo ghee is a little milder and whiter than cow ghee.
A spoon goes on hot rice and dal, on madua roti straight off the tawa, and into the jakhiya tadka for gahat, chudkani and greens. It is the fat for halwa and festival frying, and many households keep a separate jar for the lamp in the shrine.
Keep the jar closed at room temperature, away from the stove and out of the sun. Always use a dry, clean spoon, because a drop of water or a crumb of food is what spoils ghee. There is no need for the fridge, and chilled ghee is hard to spoon.
Ghee made and stored well usually keeps for many months. The jar's label gives the shop's own best-before date.
Each batch comes from one household's animals in one season. Winter ghee sets paler and firmer, summer ghee is yellower and softer, and buffalo ghee is whiter than cow ghee. Where the shop says which animal it is from, the product page has it.
Yes. Ghee melts in a warm parcel or a warm room and sets again, usually into grains, once it cools. Melting and setting do not harm it.
Slow-made ghee sometimes settles with a firmer, paler layer at the bottom, or the odd fine brown speck from the browned solids. Both are part of the method. Stir it or warm the jar gently if you want it even.
Cow ghee is yellower and has a stronger, more caramel taste; buffalo ghee is whiter, richer and milder. Hill households use both. If you are buying for the lamp or for sweets, either works.
