if one sees the fat content of ghee, one would avoid it like the plague.
personally i do not partake of ghee with my food anymore.
apart from the 'fat' part of it, i notice, that the ghee tends to mask the true taste of the food. it is like a coating, which mellows the spices and takes the sting off the மிளகாய்ஸ், which i love.
for those who should not be eating spicy food, the biggest foolery i have seen, is that they add ghee. i try to tell these guys, that the மிளகாய்ஸ் still goes to their system. you are only cheating the tongue and the taste buds.
ghee can be used to fry nuts & raisins, as garnishments to pullav. also for frying சுண்டக்காய் மர்தங்காளிக்காய் for வெத்த கொழம்பு.
on very rare occassions, hard ghee spread on soft white bread is a yum comfort food. but on a day to day basis, i think, nowadays, ghee is best avoided.
thank you.
