Can you please Clarify
Amul in a can… what WILL they think of next?
butter course you couldn't resist the pun, jv you old gheezer
Ghee, that's cheap.
when ghee doesn't smell like ghee chances arw its not. bought from last deal and regretted rather buy butter.
Was it this brand that didn't smell like ghee? Was thinking to buy this tomorrow but if it doesn't smell like ghee then I better avoid it.
samr one bought from the diwali deal. ive eaten ghee growing up and this is nothing like that.
What brand would you recommend ?
@dryandra: There is one called "qbb pure ghee". It comes out of Singapore but I find it's the closest to the ghee from back home with that nice smell.
There is also one from Maharajas choice at woolies which is decent but the QBB one is slightly better I think.
If your going to block your arteries with ghee, you want it to at least taste and smell good
@misguided: Those who think QBB is good brand for ghee, i doubt your taste for ghee.
Taste of ghee depends on source of milk and how ghee was prepared. Nothing beats aroma of fresh ghee made from butter.
Ghee made of buffalo milk is personally what I like.
If you are after pure cow's ghee look for "Allowrie". I haven't tested it for a while so not sure if quality would have changed as I heard from someone that a Chinese company bought this manufacturer.
As far as AMUL ghee is concerned, it also has different packaging. You will find yellow tins and white tins. Their tastes will be different.
These days we use Ghee that Costco stocks (yes it selling at premium). That is sources from New Zealand. Before that we were using brands from Canada and US called Nanak and Deep. Those however you will only find in Indian grocery markets.
@Costco97: @http404 Nanak and Deep do not have the ghee smell of homemade ghee. I was after a ghee that smells and tastes like homemade ghee. Do you have a suggestion for the same?
@misguided: None of them will match to what we got back home especially if you came from rural background. If you want that aroma then closest you can get by Cream > Butter > Ghee process. There should be heaps of videos on you tube for that process as there are some tricks to give ghee different texture (look for danedar ghee).
Woolworths describes it as "White Ghee"
Amul ghee is made from fresh cream and it has typical rich aroma and granular texture.I usually get this one if I get it from woolworths.
https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/223725/mah…Tastes the same as the tinned stuff from the indian grocery store
Try Allowrie Ghee mate - Made in Australia - best quality.
Duh… wondered why my curries suck, I went from Ghee to Olive Oil…
Not sure who keeps downvoting me… at a price like this I can switch back to Ghee
Is that what you use in Briyani to make it take so nice?
Use it in anything Indian to make it taste nice :)
Anything Indian? 🤔
Like chicks doused in ghee.
It's been this price for a while now
What's the difference between normal Ghee and Pure Ghee?
Amul Ghee, batting from the grandstand end.
This stuff is great!
anything made from or with butter is great …..
oh is bacon made from ghee or butter? i never new!
Lookout, white guy coming through.
@ozbjunkie: :D they are getting into that before they brand ghee as "Ecstatic Milkmade" and write as Discovered by Smith Family.
Fry it in ghee or butter and see what happens
Clarified butter…Used in curries.
Ghee is very healthy for our Body. … Amul Ghee is made from fresh cream and it has typical rich aroma and granular texture. Amul Ghee is an ethnic product made by dairies with decades of experience, and rich source of Vitamin A,D,E and K.
Ghee can reduce your risk of heart disease. Despite the bad press it has received over the years, ghee may actually be protective against heart disease. Ghee is rich in conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, a fatty acid known to be protective against carcinogens, artery plaque and diabetes
Heh, all the "I do 'science' from the 1960s" crowd are downvoting you. So sad…
@gearup please don't neg our food. You had a chance to read the whole thread before posting this.
This is Oz mate. The land of free speech. Ozbargain lives and breathes free speech and open voting.
There's no free speech law in Australia. You're confused with America. Being an Aussie doesn't mean people won't be offended.
Amul also has a yellow packaging ("Cow's ghee!). Depending on your taste buds you might prefer the yellow one over this white packaging.
This price was around Diwali time as well. Cheaper than what you get in Indian stores.50 years ago, one cherry picked report on the supposed link between fat and heart attacks has caused widespread panic even until this day. Modern research has found that fat isn't dangerous by itself, but with sugar and high stress the arteries get damaged quite easily and cholesterol ends up in those damaged areas and starts building up.
All fats are not equal. The evidence is clear. Swapping your saturated fat intake with unsaturated fat reduces your risk of heart disease.
Here's an episode of ABC's Catalyst.
At 4min 44sec:
"We've become so paranoid about cholesterol we've actually forgotten it's essential for life. It's a major component of brain and nerve tissue and central for the production of hormones in fact it's so important that virtually every single cell in the body makes it."Heart of the Matter Part 1 Dietary Villains

Cool. Seems like you can make your own easily as well
Can I spread this on the bread instead of butter?
Ghee is clarified butter, so I guess you can.
You can but you have to put the bread in hot pan until it will turn brown. It will be crispy and give you an owesome taste.
Do you spread ghee onto the bread before tossing it onto the pan; or do you heat the ghee in the pan before frying bread?
Both are right ways. Personally I spread ghee onto the bread just to make sure it is spread evenly and not too much.
In case some of you have rice - it is highly recommended to put a couple of spoons of Ghee in the rice cooker with water. Rice tastes better (have tried it only with Indian Rice). Also easy to make "Jeera Rice" which you get in restaurants. Just put ghee in rice cooker, add black cumin seeds, add rice, add water - Enjoy! Nice offer OP but unfortunately my local Wollies does not stock these. Any idea where I can find it. I'm based in Macquarie Park.
Great! So good and HEALTHY for you as well! The more you eat, the healthier it is. /s
For those of you that don't know:
Ghee is more commonly used in Indian cooking dishes (and sweets), it provides a very buttery flavour whilst enhancing the flavour of the dish for e.g rice cooked in ghee gives off a more aromatic flavour. The problem is that Indian restaurants have been piling this on in everything they cook, from Dhaal lentil soup, to butter chicken and massive amounts in even vegetarian dishes. This creates a big problem for the consumers as it's relatively unhealthy and borderline dangerous for people with high cholesterol. As such, I have tried avoiding indian cuisines for a while now..
Yes, I've seen some vegetarian recipes that for four people have 6 tablespoons of ghee, plus a generous amount of oil (also remember, oil is about 120 calories per tablespoon ;)). That's some serious shock to the arteries.
Solution? Cook Indian at home, and don't add the ghee and reduce the oil. I often don't use oil at all.
Yes if you don't move your butts it is better to stay away from any fat and make food in the water. Even Olive oil will give you shocks.
Agreed.
Don't forget, the basis of using Ghee in the Indian Restaurants has vastly differed to its origins of authentic Indian food being cooked at home..
In restaurants it's used in large volumes as a flavour enhancer (similar to the Chinese use of MSG).
You would find a bowl of Lentil Dhaal so filling but tasty, later you realise you can't eat anything for another 6 hours, from Lentils really?
Ultimately, if the above restaurants stop using MSG and Ghee, you would find their food tasteless
LOL whut? Ghee is good for you and very delicious. Avoid Indian restaurants? How funny. And to say that Indian and Chinese chefs cannot prepare delicious food without using MSG or ghee is just plain insulting.
So does that mean you're insulting the chefs that make burgers too because they're unhealthy.
I'll never insult a school kid trying to make an effort to learn the value of work.
@RSmith: Exactly my point, he tried to pin racism on me by saying the vast majority of Chinese and Indian places use MSG and Ghee as major flavour enhancers…
the fact of the matter is, restaurants (regardless what race) are there to maximise profit, Ghee is a good ingredient
Ghee is a major ingredient in almost all Indian sweets. It's often forgotten when talked about daals and subjis/ curries.
Ghee I'm a Tree?
Very punny.
See this how butter is transformed into ghee - https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Aklilu_Bogale/publicati…
Thank you for this, OP. As an Indian, I picked up 4! Gonna make them sweets now!
where did you get them from?
Woolworths
