Desi Cow Ghee

Ayurveda teaches us that ghee is a medicinal food that is excellent for good health when used in cooking or added to foods. It is one of the most ancient and “sattvik” foods known, healing to all doshas: best for Vatas, soothing for Pittas and balancing for Kaphas in moderation. Unfortunately, the Ghee that you get in the stores doesn’t match with this expectation. Although big brands do claim their variety is the purest, but the taste and texture of Homemade Ghee is simply the best. Good ghee must have a sweet smell and a uniform gold color. When it is getting made, it should not smell astringent; and when eaten, it should not scratch the back of your throat. When cool, it should form semolina-like granules and should not be only smooth and waxy. We follow lengthy route of culturing milk into yogurt, gathering the cream from it, beating that to make butter and then finally to ghee. This is the traditional way of doing it and this ghee obtained has numerous medicinal properties.
