Recipe Notes

* What is ghee??? Ghee is a type of clarified butter that’s prepared by simmering butter and removing the residue. Sometimes spices are added for flavor. It is used in Ayurvedic medicine and cooking due to its purported health benefits. You can usually find it in the ethnic section of larger mainstream grocery stores and at Trader Joes.
