There is a lot of misinformation given in this thread. That Wikipedia
article contains no direct misinformation, as far as I can tell, but it
still misinforms by omission. For example, it omits the very important
fact that ghee is made with water-buffalo milk just as often as with cow
milk - it depends on the region. Also, ghee is very expensive in India
and is mostly used by rich people. Here is a link to an old Shankar
post where he mentions all of this and more. I'd regard any Shankar
post on Indian food as about a hundred times more reliable than any
Wikipedia article on the same subject. The fact that ghee is not just
clarified butter is a given, anyway.
