The Golden Elixir of South Asian Cooking
Discover the rich, aromatic, and authentic taste that only pure ghee can provide with Khanum Butter Ghee, available in a generous 1kg value tin at Ideal Indiska in Stockholm. Ghee, or clarified butter, is a cornerstone of Indian and Pakistani cuisine, revered for its distinctive nutty flavor, high smoke point, and its place in traditional wellness practices. Khanum is a trusted brand that delivers a high-quality, pure ghee perfect for all your culinary needs.
What is Ghee and Why is it So Prized?
Ghee is made by simmering butter to remove the milk solids and water, leaving behind pure, golden butterfat. This process gives it several unique properties:
- Rich, Nutty & Caramelized Flavor: The simmering process toasts the milk solids before they are removed, which imparts a deep, nutty, and slightly caramelized aroma and taste to the ghee that is far more complex than plain butter.
- High Smoke Point: Ghee can be heated to high temperatures (approx. 250°C / 482°F) without burning or smoking. This makes it a superior and healthier choice for high-heat cooking, deep-frying, and sautéing compared to many oils or butter.
- Lactose & Casein Free (Virtually): The clarification process removes most of the lactose and casein, making ghee a suitable option for many people with dairy sensitivities.
- Long Shelf Life: Ghee is a stable fat that does not require refrigeration, making it a convenient pantry staple.
- Ayurvedic & Traditional Value: In Ayurveda, ghee is considered a highly sattvic (pure) food, believed to aid digestion, nourish the body, and enhance the properties of herbs.
