Ghee is clarified butter which has been used in Indian cooking for many centuries. Ghee is made by simmering butter and simmering it until the water evaporates and the milk solids settle to the bottom of the pan. A clear, golden liquid called ghee remains while butter will contain milk fat but milk solids have been removed. One tablespoon of ghee contains approximately 11 grams of fat, which equals 130 calories.
