Its actually easy to make ghee, its just a type of clarified butter. Look online to find good procedures on how to do it, its not worth buying
Instead of using oil, make your own ghee.


Heat unsalted butter until liquid and scoop off the fat, leaving behind the whitish residues.


It is not the same as real ghee, but quite good.
You can make it easily......

Ghee will taste better, but you definitely can use oil and it will taste just as good!
cleared butter, or ghee, has it's own flavour, and an advantage, over oil.


use homemade ghee. collect butter, and just heat till the water content evaporates, or get genuine ghee from the indian store.
Ghee (Hindi ?? from Sanskrit gh?ta ??? ';sprinkled'; ) is a type of clarified butter important in Indian cuisine. Ghee is made by simmering unsalted butter in a large pot, until its water has boiled off and its protein has settled to the bottom. The clarified butter is then spooned off, taking care not to disturb the milk solids on the bottom of the pan. This method of preparation gives ghee a somewhat nutty aroma that Western clarified butter does not have.





Unlike butter, ghee can be stored for extended periods without refrigeration, provided it is kept in an airtight container to prevent oxidation and that it remains moisture-free. This extended life is due to the destruction of microbes and enzymes during simmering and the removal of water. Also unlike butter, ghee can be heated to its smoke point without discoloring or developing a burnt taste, making it superior for deep frying. In fact, until refined vegetable oil came into popular use in India, ghee was the mainstay of all fried dishes.





Properly made ghee should be semi-liquid at room temperature. Better-quality ghee is a rich golden color.

You have to have ghee! but it's easy to make, just melt some butter and separate the oil from the water and solids. The oil is ghee!
