In Indian cooking, "ghee" is clarified butter. The butter is heated and melted, and then the white bits of fat are strained out. I believe this ultimately removes impurities and fat from the butter and gives it a better fragrance to complement Indian cooking.
Clarified butter is a mixture. It is made by heating butter to separate the milk solids and water from the fat, resulting in a clear liquid.
Ghee is Clarified Butter which is typically over 99% Fat. It is derived from butter (typically 78-82% butter fat).
A fat (such as butter) that is heated until the solids separate from it and are skimmed off, leaving a clear oil.
Ghee (clarified butter) is essentially an animal fat and is flammable at proper temperatures
The term for clarified butter in Telugu is "neyyi."
If you look at equal volumes, clarified butter may have more calories than regular butter or margarine. Regular butter and margarine have some water in them. That water has been removed from clarified butter.
clarified butter is essentially butter that has the milk solids taken out of it, we do this because it has a higher heat resistence therefore not burning. so, you can use plain butter for making a lighter roux, but if you are going to make a dark roux, the UNclarified butter will burn before you reach the color that you want. overall, i prefer clarified butter for almost everything because you run less risk of burning your food! hope this helped! cheers!
Clarified butter
The low fat peanut butter has less fat than the original peanut butter, and has a lighter, almost un-noticeable taste.
If you ask, are Ghee and clarified butter the same, the answer will be no, because they are produced using slightly different methods. Clarified butter is made by melting unsalted butter, which causes the milk solids to separate from the liquid butterfat. The solids are then removed, leaving the liquid butterfat, which is the clarified butter. Ghee, on the other hand, is made by simmering butter until the milk solids are golden brown and then straining them out. This process gives the ghee a nutty, caramelized flavor, which is different from the taste of clarified butter. Ghee also has a higher smoke point than clarified butter, which means it can be used at higher temperatures for cooking without burning. In summary, ghee is made from clarified butter and further cooked till the golden brown and nutty flavor and it has a higher smoke point.
