Janani's thoughts are true! Thats why whenever you add ghee to your recipes I never think about the fat stuff. But again in the world of Siddha medicine the same medicine will have a different effect if mixed with ghee or honey. Also based on the body constitution a Siddha doctor prescribes the "anu bhaanam" (the ingredient to which the medicine is mixed, to enhance absorption"). Ghee is one of the best "anu bhaanam" used in Siddha medicine. Thanks for sharing the ways to make ghee. Indira, Vinayaka Chathurthi wishes to you and Vijay! Janani’s thoughts are true!

Its actualy the best vehicle/medium to dissolve medicinal herbs for maximum absorption into the body. Unfortunately, we ofen fall into the habit of only treating food as fats, carbs etc. It nourishes us on so many more levels though. Since Ghee is also considered a nervine tonic, I think there might be more scientific correlation behind the stereotype of communities that have a long tradition of using ghee and a very strong intellectual tradition (tamil brahmins for example).You won't see any one paying for that kind of research though:) Hello Indira:
