Healthy Indian Cooking with Ghee

Ghee isn't just for festive sweets — it belongs in your everyday cooking too.

Start your day with a teaspoon of ghee melted over warm roti or mixed into your morning porridge for sustained energy.

Use it for tadka — tempering cumin, mustard seeds, and curry leaves in hot ghee before adding to dal or sabzi instantly deepens the flavour of the dish.

Because of its high smoke point, ghee is excellent for shallow frying parathas, bhaturas, and pooris without the acrid smell that refined oils can produce at high heat.

For a comforting classic, try a bowl of garma-garam varan-bhaat with a generous dollop of ghee — simple, nourishing, and unmistakably home.
