This is simple and opulent, a gentle reminder that a good meal does not have to be always about hard-to-find ingredients. Some drizzle of ghee over fluffy, steaming rice is all you need for comfort.
about the ghee
Ghee (a form of clarified butter) has a long, traditional history in India. Made meticulously from churned butter, ghee-making is a laborious process that tests both skill and love. This particular variety comes from the milk of desi cows, which imparts the characteristic yellow colour, from the hills of North Bengal.

what you can cook with it
North Bengal ghee suits a simple drizzle over piping hot rice as well as being cooked. We love how it imparts a deep, meaty-umami flavour while being cooked with spices. Try it while tempering your spices next time.
