it is definitely worth the taste, imho. you can make your own. buy some good butter - i highly recommend lurpak or kerrygold. melt it yourself until it loses all the water and the solids brown off. so good!

Anchor salted butter makes the BEST GHEE ever! Lurpak - tasteless. Kerrygold - bland.

I still remember when my started using dairy ghee that comes in the large green and gold tins. It stank, we used to run from the kitchen to escape from the stink but we couldn't escape from it. Then we didn't like the food, but got used to it.

Only in recent years parents health made them change for olive or sunflower oil, but my mum still sneaks in a spoonful of ghee to the pan when she thinks my dad won't notice. He always can tell tho.
