Yes, you can make desi ghee at home. Just follow this simple recipe

Truth be told, just one teaspoon of ghee can make any meal blissful. More importantly, ghee is a healthy source of fat. We’re not the only ones saying it! So many renowned nutritionists believe in the power of desi ghee.

From your gut to the skin, ghee contains a magical ingredient known as butyric acid that can take care of multiple issues. What’s more, butyric acid can also boost your metabolism and help in weight loss.

According to Dr Farah Adam Mukadam, a general physician, it improves the absorption of other vitamins and nutrients, making it a must for pregnant women and growing children.

In addition to all this, desi ghee is a powerhouse of nutrients that your body needs to function properly. It contains vitamins E, D, A, and K that can ensure your risk of suffering from any deficiency stays low.

Unfortunately, the authenticity of the ghee that we buy from the market is extremely questionable. Hence, it is best to prepare ghee right at home! Turns out, the process is actually fairly simple.
