that's what I was wondering. I've never understood the need to clarify it.
But if you do, there must be a use for the solids too?

Probably the most important reason is so you can fry with it. There's
nothing special about ghee - it's just the kind of fat that was
available. In this country, people routinely used pork fat because
that's what they could render. These days, we mostly use vegetable oil.
My guess is that's what the Indians use too.

I've never read anything about what should be done with the milk solids
in cookbooks. It's a mystery.
