Ghee should be a part of every kitchen. Oh wait! You’ve never cooked with ghee? Wouldn’t even know where to start? Hardly even know what ghee is? You’re missing out.
For thousands of years, ghee has been a staple in Indian cuisine. Ayurvedic thought believes ghee is the ultimate in cooking oils, healing to both mind and body. The ancient Indian philosopher Charvak (3000 B.C.) once opined:
As long as you live, live happily
Beg, borrow or steal, but relish ghee
Relish ghee. Now that’s a philosophy to live by! Why did the ancients value ghee so much? What’s so great about it anyway? Consider this my ode to ghee.
