Ghee
About
Ghee is clarified butter (butter with the milk solids removed) and is a staple in Indian cooking; it works well for cooking at high temperatures.You can find it in Indian specialty stores or make your own by melting 1 pound unsalted butter in a medium saucepan until a foam appears. Bring the butter to a boil but be carecul not to let the butter brown around the sides of the pan. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until the foam goes away, the liquid darkens, and small brown pieces form at the bottom. Strain mixture using a fine mesh trainer and discard the solids. Store at room temperature for up to one month.
