Ghee

"Also Known As: Bilona Ghee / Desi Ghee / Village Ghee Pahadi Ghee is a traditional clarified butter made from cow or buffalo milk using the age-old Bilona method, typically practiced in Himalayan villages. Both versions — Cow Ghee and Buffalo Ghee — are rich, aromatic, and nutrient-dense, often used in daily cooking, rituals, and Ayurvedic healing. Cow Ghee: Yellowish-golden, grainy, light, easier to digest. Buffalo Ghee: White or pale yellow, creamier, richer in fat, ideal for winters."

History & Cultural Significance

"Integral to mountain homes for generations — used in food, worship, and medicine. Offered in rituals like havans, marriages, and births. Pahadi wisdom: “Ghee ka ek chamach, doctor se bachaye bachpan se budhape tak.” Buffalo ghee is often preferred for strength and heating effect in colder regions."
