Health Benefits

Indian fried rice is made with ghee. It is a healthier option than butter, due to its high-smoke point and the clarification process it undergoes, which removes water and milk fat. It is actually safe for those sensitive to lactose or casein, as both are cooked out long before it reaches you or your Indian fried rice!
