Biriyani, Mysore Pak,halwas and laddu of Tamil Nadu, the Kichadi and Puran poli of Maharashtra, Batti of Rajasthan, Parathas and Daals of Punjab; Ghee covered them all!
You can apply ghee on toast, you can use it for tempering, you can even add a spoonful of ghee on your black coffee. Coffee with ghee may sound weird, but it is delicious!
A teaspoon of ghee will cover your needs for Omega-3,plus fat soluble Vitamins like A, D, E and K. It is also laxative and aids in good bowel movement. Good for the heart, because it contains mono saturated fatty acids.
