In Indian cuisines, ghee can be used in lieu of either butter or oil?nothing is different, regardless of origin. Regardless of function, it can be used to replace or substitute vegetable oil or coconut oil in baked goods or used for sauteing and deep-frying. From this, Khanum Butter Ghee is a brand of ghee available in the market of United Kingdom.

It tastes just like butter but the consistency and appearance are different. It has a slightly roasted and nutty background. The flavour and taste varies too depending on the brand because different brands use different kind of milk to make it. Its consistency when at room temperature is soft while in the refrigerator cold, it is granular and firm.

It has a longer shelf life. However, it should be kept in an airtight container. It can also be kept longer at room temperatures, at cool, dry, and dark environment. When exposed to heat and liquid, ghee becomes spoiled. It turns into a brown shade with a sour smell. In the event that this happens, it should no longer be used and should rather be thrown away.
