Please may we consult about Usli Ghee and Desi Ghee?

Question

Namaste ~
Is Usli Ghee just plain ghee, but with a very proper name, or is it something different?

And, suddenly I am seeing mention of Desi Ghee. What ever is that? Maybe Ghee with a foreign accent?

One more thing: is there another kind of ghee we should mention?

with thanks in advance

Answer 1

'Usli' means 'real' or 'pure', in the sense of 'as it should be', 'as of old'.. 'Desi', in the same context, means 'native', 'local', 'home-made', 'indigenous'. As regards the ghee itself, they both come down to the same thing, of course. For that reason you wll see some Indian manufacturers classifying their product as 'pure desi ghee', claiming 'desi', i.e. 'home made' as a marketing ploy in just the same way as manufacturers anywhere else in the world. :-)

Answer 3

For your other question I have given a detailed reply. The same answer suits for this question also. It is not USLI ghee It is ASLI ghee means PURE ghee. Desi ghee is the ghee home made in the traditional way. They are very good and rich in taste, excepting for the fat and cholesterol point of view. -

Answer 4

usli ghee is clarified butter. It is made by simmering unsalted butter in a large pot until all water has boiled off and protein has settled to the bottom, the clarified butter is then spooned off to avoid disturbing the milk solids on the bottom of the pan
