HT 7b: Specially Prepared Ingredients
Specially Prepared Ingredients
Curd and ghee are two easy-to-make basic ingredients of many recipes found in A Higher Taste. They have no substitute. Curd is a light, natural, protein-rich cheese. Ghee is the purified essence of butter. The butter you bring home from the store is eighty-percent butterfat, eighteen-percent water, and two-percent protein solids. If you slowly cook the butter, the water boils off and the protein solids separate from the butterfat. Finally, you are left with a golden liquid that you can use for deep frying. The advantage of ghee is that it does not smoke, bubble, or burn, as butter does, at high temperatures. Also, ghee does not require refrigeration for storage. No cooking oil can match ghee for its pleasant taste and ease of digestion.
