As per Wikipedia, Desi Ghee is a class of clarified butter that originated from the Indian subcontinent. It is primarily used in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines, traditional medicine, and religious rituals.
Ghee is usually made up of butter or cream and the process of making ghee is very easy. But the question arises that what is ghee residue.
Ghee is usually prepared at home after collecting Malai (cream) from above the milk. That Malai is churned into a butter and when the butter melts on heat, ghee is made out of it.
While on preparation, the hot liquid stuff is ghee and the soft, creamy and paneer like brownish coloured stuff settled at the bottom of the pan is called ghee residue.
This ghee residue is also called Mawa in Hindi. However it is called khujdi and Thuppada gassi at some places. This byproduct is very rich in protein, essential fatty acids and can be used in many recipes.
