Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Clarified butter - Ghee is made by simmering unsalted butter in a large pot until all water has boiled off and protein has settled to the bottom. The cooked and clarified butter is then spooned off to avoid disturbing the milk solids on the bottom of the pan. Unlike butter, ghee can be stored for extended periods without refrigeration, provided it is kept in an airtight container to prevent oxidation and remains moisture-free - Barb Thursday, January 24, 2008 6:42 AM Re: [VEGETARIAN RECIPES] RE: Sakkari Pongal what is Ghee?
