Rice Poll

Slight off topic but whats the deal with ghee? I keep a tub in the fridge, but its thusly impossible to use as it goes rock hard.

I read South Asian ppl just keep it on the bench in runny form, but wont it go rancid like butter would?

i keep it at room temp, lasts forever

I keep it in the fridge and have developed various techniques with spoons and knives for getting what I need but yes it should keep at room temp for a good while

i think because many of the dairy solids aren't in there it lasts sort of like oil would?

I once threw out some extremely dodgy looking ghee, it had been hidden behind other stuff at the back of a kitchen cupboard for at least a few years though. It keeps fine on the shelf for months ime

Huh ok I will try keeping it room temp. I like the flavour of it compared to just oil in my curries.

I'm still trying to perfect my curry base masala (the whole spices/onions fried down/garlicginger paste/tomates and spice powders/fry into pasty sauce step). I cant get it quite right and I think cooking down the onions/using more than I am might be why.

But! That is not a rice topic.

ime temperature doesn't turn butter rancid, exposure to air does

oh and cooking brown rice is mostly just adding extra water in the rice cooker, also brown rice is delicious

made fried rice last night with leftover brown rice, grilled chicken + green onions. didn’t touch the ghee jar :-(
