How to Season Cast Iron with Ghee

September 16, 2020 by Pure Indian Foods 3 Comments

Those of us who love to cook with cast iron know how important it is to have well-seasoned pans. Seasoning keeps the surface of cast iron shiny and smooth and it prevents rusting and sticking, sort of like using a non-stick pan only without the toxic chemicals.  In the old days, when you bought cast iron, […]

November 13, 2018 by Pure Indian Foods Leave a Comment

Creative Thanksgiving Day ideas for how to use ghee. Before roasting, slather your turkey in grassfed organic ghee (and maybe a little garlic ghee, as well).

Why Herbal Ghee?

May 18, 2018 by Pure Indian Foods 5 Comments

If you love ghee, you have smart taste buds! Not only is ghee delicious and nutritious, but that fragrant buttery oil also holds an exalted place in Ayurveda (the traditional medicine of India).

Curious about the texture of your ghee?

November 20, 2017 by Pure Indian Foods 9 Comments

Ghee contains many fatty acids with different melting points, which allows it to exist at many different textures, even at the same temperature. Grainy/Gritty, Solid, Creamy, and Liquid are all normal textures of traditionally made ghee.   When we make small batches, we pour the ghee into the jars when it is still liquid, close […]

Ghee vs. Butter

July 4, 2017 by Sandeep Agarwal Leave a Comment

1) Great for cooking: Ghee does not contain milk solids and it is very stable at high heat. Because of its high smoke point (~485 °F), it is considered one of the best oils for baking, sautéing and deep fat frying. When you sauté with butter, the milk solids precipitate to the bottom of the pan […]
