Desi Ghee for puja

Desi Ghee

Desi Ghee holds its position of purity in practically all the Hindu pooja rituals. In Hindu mythology, Prajapati/Brahma, created Ghee by rubbing or "churning" his hands collectively and then poured it into hearth to engender his progeny. So, every time the Vedic rituals are carried out, the pouring of Ghee into hearth symbolises a re-enactment of creation.

In line with the Vedas, Ghee is the purest substance obtained from the purest Hindu animal - the cow. Dating way back to 1500 BC the Rig Veda comprised of hymns that were sung in praise of Ghee.

Desi Ghee is used in Hindu temples to gentle diyas (Lamps) and to arrange the sacred meals, or Prasad. This exalted status of ghee makes it not only a sacred and pure, but in addition a really expensive food, loved only by the rich in the past. The age old study of Ayurveda considers it "the golden oil" of life, some imagine that it puts us at a high degree of well being risk.

Desi Ghee Preparation
Desi ghee is made by slowly melting butter or cream that has been collected over a interval of days. When the butter is heated (one hundred ten-one hundred twenty°C), there is quite a lot of frothing, which consists primarily of proteins (casein), impurities and the sediment of non-fat milk solids.

When virtually all the water evaporates the milk solids in the butter sink to the underside, and the clear liquid on top is poured off and utilized in cooking. As a result of the milk solids are faraway from the clarified butter, it may be used at higher cooking temperatures than unclarified butter, and it will also keep longer. Also known as drawn butter or anhydrous butter fat, desi ghee doesn't rancid as readily as butter and will be saved unrefrigerated for a number of months.
