Desi Ghee (Cow Ghee, Clarified Butter) · 500 g

Desi ghee is the smell of a Pakistani kitchen: tarka crackling over daal, a paratha fresh off the tawa, halwa on a winter evening. Desi Nectar cow ghee comes in 1kg and 500g airtight jars, traditionally made, with a granular (danedar) texture and the old-fashioned aroma. Stock is limited because it is made in small batches.

How to recognise good desi ghee

Smell, texture and colour are your best clues: a nutty, buttery aroma, a slightly grainy set, and a golden colour. Melted ghee should look clear.

• Some products sold as "desi ghee" are vegetable ghee with a desi ghee essence (flavouring). Read the label for the word "butter", "milk fat" or the animal source.
• No home test is conclusive, so ask the seller how the ghee is made.

Who should be careful

Ghee is a rich fat, so keep portions moderate. Ghee is not lactose-free: a small amount of milk solids can remain, so if you have a dairy allergy or intolerance, check with your doctor first. If you have heart, cholesterol or weight concerns, ask a doctor or dietitian how much suits you.

Is this cow ghee or buffalo ghee?

No. It has no organic certification, so we don't call it organic.

Why is my ghee grainy or solid?

A granular (danedar) set is normal for traditionally made ghee, and it firms up in cold weather.

Does desi ghee need refrigeration?

No. A cool, dry spot and a closed lid are enough.
