Deshi ghee, also known as clarified butter, is a traditional and highly prized culinary ingredient in many South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. The term “Deshi” typically refers to something indigenous or local, and Deshi Ghee is often associated with the rich dairy traditions of the Indian subcontinent.

The process of making Deshi Ghee involves gently heating unsalted butter until it separates into clarified butter and milk solids. The milk solids are then strained out, resulting in a product with a distinct nutty aroma, rich flavor, and a high smoke point, making it suitable for various cooking methods.
