Question:

What is the benefit of using ghee in your recipes?


Answers:
Using ghree is like using vegetable oil in that it can withstand a high heat due to the fact that all the milk solids have been removed and only the fat remains. In addition, it adds a delightful richness and flavor to foods that oil cannot.

Good taste & smell,

There are no benefits as such in cooking in Ghee. Ghee can withstand high temperatures without getting burnt. It imparts a rich aroma to the food.
It infact it increases Cholesterol and is not good for your Heart.

Well, it's butter with the milk solids removed and the water cooked off, so it doesn't burn like butter will. There aren't any health benefits in using ghee over butter, it's the same stuff. But I only use butter or olive oil for cooking. Our bodies know what to do with those, I'm not going to use that hydrogenated junk that is just chemicals and processes that turn it into a fat source our bodies just don't know how to process.
It's all about balance and moderation.

Health awarenss does not permit as abundant a use of ghee as once was in Indian cuisine.It imparts a very special taste to dishes & the aroma of a dish cooked in ghee appeals to many who are used to it.Now the use of ghee is often limited to special rich dishes like pulaos & biryanis & it has a vfery special place in making of rich tradutional Indian sweeets & halwas etc. A tespoonful of melted ghee spooned over a steaming plate of rice is much appreciated by south Indians.
