ghee
Ghee is primarily associated with Indian cuisine and Ayurvedic traditions, where it is valued for its high smoke point and nutty flavor. It differs from standard butter in that the milk solids are completely removed, making it shelf-stable without refrigeration and suitable for high-heat cooking.
As a mass noun, ghee is treated as uncountable. It refers to the substance itself rather than individual units. To quantify it, speakers use partitive constructions or measurements, such as a spoonful of ghee or a jar of ghee.
