Ghee ( Hindi ?? ghi, Urdu ??? ghi, Bangla ?? ghi, Marathi Toop (???), Kannada ????? tuppa, Tamil ???? nei, Telugu ?????? neyyi, Somali subaag) is a class of clarified butter that originated in South Asia, [1] and is commonly used in South Asian ( Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani), Middle Eastern cuisine ( Levantine and Egyptian) and Somali cuisine. Ghee is made by simmering unsalted butter in a large pot until all water has boiled off and protein has settled to the bottom. The cooked and clarified butter is then spooned off to avoid disturbing the milk solids on the bottom of the pan. Unlike butter, ghee can be stored for extended periods without refrigeration, provided it is kept in an airtight container to prevent oxidation and remains moisture-free.[2] Texture, colour, or taste of ghee depends on the source of the milk from which the butter was made and the extent of boiling. In India, ghee is usually made with water buffalo's milk as it tends to be whiter than cow's milk.[citation needed] The word ghee comes from Sanskrit gh?t? ??? ("sprinkled"). It has a sacred role in Vedic and modern Hindu libation and anointment rituals (see Yajurveda). There is also a hymn to ghee.[3] Ghee is also burnt in the Hindu religious ritual of Aarti and is the principal fuel used for the Hindu votive lamp known as the diya or deep. It is used in marriages and funerals, and for bathing murtis during worship. In other religious observances, such as the prayers to Shiva on Maha Shivaratri, ghee is served along with four other sacred substances sugar, milk, Dahi or yogurt, and honey which is called the Panchamrut. According to the Mahabharata, ghee is the very root of sacrifice by Bhishma. Also, it is used generously in Homam or Yagna as it is considered as food for Devas.
