      WARNING don’t buy if you live in Australia
      You need knowledge from indian health department,all ghee and milk products are considered artificial because there is negative availablity.
      So this ghee is artificial definitely not from real milk
      In Australia you can buy Aussie butter from supermarket and cook for 20 to 30 minutes on low heat until you see liquid ghee on top and residue on bottom
      then filter with fine strainer

    • No
      It's usually $12.50 - $13.50 at Indian grocery stores

  • +2

    Unfortunately, it's not.
    The only Indian Grocery I know of one on the Gold Coast http://spiceworld.net.au/
    40mins away and $11.95 is the cheapest one

    • Yes, $11.95 is the normal price for all grocery stores around me too. This is a good deal.

    • Please do not assume prices are the same everywhere…Indian stores in Brissy and Melbourne have it for around $10 at all times

      • Care to share any Indian store in Melbourne that has this for $10?

        • Pahal Group in St Albans, rather $9.99. Not necessarily every store in vicinity share the same price.

      • Care to share any Indian store in Brisbane that has this for $10?

      Unfortunately, it's not.

      I have some issues with that news article.

      Illegally imported is NOT the same as fake.

      “The makers of adulterated ghee use Palmolein and Vanaspati to prepare it. The mix also contains about 15 per cent original ghee to impress the customer.”

      Most people would know if your ghee is 85% fake. At least I would.

      That article looks to be paid by indiasfinest.com.au. who does not have a website!!

      Here people don’t need correct advice

  • what do you make with this?

    • Its clarified butter. Can be used instead of cooking oil to give that rich taste. Kinda like how duck fat is used for frying potatoes. Good source of calcium too.

      • Not sure if you like to replace cooking oil with Ghee, Ghee has strong smell when heated on pan etc.

        • +2

          yes you are right, not a replacement of cooking oil but probably of butter. Used for making sweets, enhances the taste of Veg Dishes etc.

    • In the recently posted microwave popcorn deal, someone said they used this and popcorn kernals to make healthier quick popcorn (microwave popcorn is very bad for you)

      • +1

        someone said they used this and popcorn kernals to make healthier quick popcorn

        Haha, add some saturated fat to the already purportedly "bad for you" microwave popcorn to make it 'healthier'. The kind of things armchair nutrition experts come up with always cracks me up.

        • +2

          I think he means to use "untreated popping corn + ghee" rather than adding it to microwave corn.

          • +1

            @GordonR:

            I think he means to use "untreated popping corn + ghee" rather than adding it to microwave corn.

            You are probably correct, I seemed to have misunderstood the previous post.

            I suppose it's still corn kernels + saturated fat (which might have been some other nasty chemicals). I suppose it's the question of which one of the two is worse off (fat vs chemicals).

            I suppose point might still be that one could not make anything "healthier" by adding saturated fats to it.

            • +1

              @aussieolfaction: There is no way that popping corn in ghee could be as bad for you as either microwave or cinema popcorn, apparrently a small popcorn has as much calories as over 2 roast dinners

      • +3

        A report from the FDA indicates that a chemical coating used in microwave popcorn bags breaks down when heated into a substance called perfluorooctanoic (PFOA). The Environmental Protection Agency has identified PFOA as a “likely carcinogen.”

      Ghee and rice is usually a kids first solid food. Meant to be healthier than other oils. I found that you can make home remedies with it as well…

    • Bulletproof coffee

    Ghee thanks…

  • +8

    Traditionally GHEE was made at home in Indian families and my wife still does. Just buy unsalted butter from the supermarket and heat it up to boiling point. It separates ghee from cheesy residue that can be filtered out before the ghee sets again. Feel the freshness and purity!

    • +1

      Ghee is usually fermented. The butter they use to clarify is churned from yogurt and you are left with lassi as a byproduct. You can clarify regular butter but you won't get the same sour taste.

        • +1

          Better to name it that than something like The Littlest Hobo - a Mango Littlest Hobo does not sound very appetising at all!

          • @rodericb: Rin Tin Tin?

          • @rodericb: Used to watch that show daily, looking it up right now

      • Yeah, nah, that's not how it works. Sour cream maybe. Yoghurt rather not.

        • +1

          Yeah you are right, I over simplified it to get the point across. Much like the Ghee let me clarify.

          Which was Ghee being made from butter that is made from a cultured milk and not just regular butter so you could clarify butter at home and get something that resembles Ghee and cooks like Ghee (which is fine) it will be missing the flavours you get from the culture and fermentation of the milk so homemade from supermarket butter and this aren't 1 to 1 comparable.

          With all that out of the way this Amul Ghee doesn't taste that great anyway.

          • @denserham: I wonder if you start with the Western Star Unsalted Butter Chef's Choice - it claims to be cultured. Might make a decent Ghee.

    • +1

      I have tried making ghee that way. It tastes much better than this Amul shit. Amul used to be good a few years ago.

    • Which butter do you use?

      • Any unsalted butter will do. Aldi or Coles/ Woolies home brand works great too.

        • Interesting

      • Try using Pepe saya's cultured butter for making ghee.
        Now, that's real GHEE.

    • +1

      How much butter do you need to yield 1 litre of product?

      • +1

        It's a pretty good yield. 1kg of butter would get quite close to 1l of ghee.

    • A much better bargain way of making Ghee is from discounted cream.

      Our IGA once had 300ml tubs of cream that expired the next day reduced to 9 cents each. Churn the cream into butter, you get close to 100g from each 300ml tub, then straight into the wok to clarify.

      The pleasant nutty flavour comes from the Maillard reaction of the proteins and milk sugar as they heat up - before you skim the residues off.

      If you have a suitable thermometer you can replicate your favourite flavour to the point every time. The thermometer helps to maximise good and avoid burnt flavours. Otherwise just go slow and stop before the colour goes too dark.

  • on the cans I got

    what do you do with so many cans
    (I'm assuming you bought more than two)

    It separates ghee from cheesy residue that can be filtered out before the ghee sets again.

    does the cheesy residue end up in the bin, or is there something you can do with it?

    • You can mix it with rice and eat it. Don't use the salted butter though.

    • You can add some flour and some jaggery to make delicious and healthy sweets

    Seems like the deal price is rising @ Woolies:

    Nov 18: $7.5 [VIC] 1/2 Price Amul Ghee 1L for $7.50 @ Woolworths Braybrook
    Feb 19: $9 [NSW] Amul Ghee for $9 @ Woolworths Parramatta

    and now $9.90

  • It's this price or less since last 6 months. Woolies started this sale around the Indian festival of Diwali last year.

  • Not for WA. Update the title pls.

    • Maybe not all stores in WA, but my local shows it at that price, I could order for pick-up or delivery.

  • Good work system

  • Which Woolies in Brissy sells it?

    Hello…. is it Ghee you’re looking for… 🎶

    This is cheaper than KY! Can I use this instead of KY or would that be upsetting some imaginary figure in the sky ?

    To remind people this is made from Buffalo milk. Cows milk ghee is better, can be found in Indian grocery store like MKS in Dandenong, it comes in yellow coloured tin.

    • How can you tell that it is made from the buffalo milk?

    • +2

      Buffalo milk has more fat than cows milk.
      It does have a stronger flavour though.

    • Allowrie branded (if its the yellow tin)

      • +1

        IMO, Allowrie is the best ghee ever!

        • +1

          Allowrie isn't thd best ghee. It's the only ghee

    • You say that like it's a problem. Whay do you feel cow's milk is better?

      It's the first time I have tried this brand so really interested to know.

      Actually, on the can it states: 50% cows milk and 50% buffalo
