One of the reasons I love using ghee is that it's more than just a cooking fat. Because the milk solids are removed during cooking, it's naturally low in lactose and casein, making it a great option for many people who are sensitive to dairy.
Ghee is also rich in fat-soluble vitamins like A, E and K, and contains beneficial fatty acids, including butyrate, which plays a role in supporting gut health. It has a high smoke point too, making it ideal for roasting, frying and sautéing.
What I love most is that one simple recipe becomes the foundation for so many others. I use my homemade ghee in curries, spice pastes, roasted vegetables, homemade naan, rice dishes, and even some baking recipes. It adds such a rich, buttery flavour.
Making it at home means I know exactly what's in it, it works out more economical than buying it, and I always have a jar ready to go when I'm cooking.
Honestly, once I started making ghee in my Thermomix, I never looked back. It's one of those simple pantry staples that's easy to make, incredibly versatile, and something I frequently.
Have you tried making your own ghee yet? If not, this might just be the recipe that surprises you! 💛
