Indian ghee

Ghee is a class of clarified butter that originated in South Asia and is commonly used in South Asian (Indian, Bangladeshi, Nepali and Pakistani) cuisine.

The word ghee comes from Sanskrit: घृत (ghṛta, IPA: [ɡʱrit̪ə] 'sprinkled') and has several names around the world (Punjabi: ਘਿਉ ghyo, Hindi: घी ghī, Gujarati: ઘી ghī, Nepali: घ्यू ghyū, Urdu: گھی ghī, Bengali: ঘী ghi, Odia: ଘିଅ gheeo, Marathi/Konkani: तूप tūp, Kannada: ತುಪ್ಪ tuppa, Malayalam: നെയ്യ് ney, Tamil: நெய் ney, Telugu: నెయ్యి neyyi, Somali: subaag, Arabic: سمنة samna, Persian: روغن کره roghan-e kareh), Indonesian: minyak samin, Hausa: Man shanu).

[edit] Preparation

Ghee is made by simmering unsalted butter in a cooking vessel until all water has boiled off, the milk solids (or protein) have settled to the bottom, and a froth has floated on top. After removing the froth, the cooked and clarified butter is then spooned off or tipped out carefully to avoid disturbing the milk solids on the bottom of the pan.[1] Ghee can be stored for extended periods without refrigeration, provided that it is kept in an airtight container to prevent oxidation and remains moisture-free. The texture, color, or taste of ghee depends on the source of the milk from which the butter was made and the extent of boiling and simmering.
[edit] Religious use

Ghee made from cow's milk (गोघृत go-ghṛta) has a sacred role in Vedic and modern Hindu libation and anointment rituals (see Yajurveda). There is also a hymn to ghee.[2] Ghee is also burnt in the Hindu religious ritual of Ārati (Aarti) and is the principal fuel used for the Hindu votive lamp known as the diyā or dīpa (deep). It is used in marriages and funerals, and for bathing mūrtis (divine idols) during worship.

In other religious observances, such as the prayers to Lord Krishna, Śiva (Shiva) on Janmashtami, Mahā-śivarātrī (Maha Shivaratri), and other Hindu festivals, ghee is served in Pañcāmṛta (Panchamruta) along with four other sacred substances: sugar, honey, milk, and dahī (yogurt). According to the Mahābhārata, ghee is the very root of sacrifice by Bhīṣma. Also, it is used generously in homam or yajña since it is considered as food for the Devas.

Ghṛta (ghee) is the Sanskrit descendant of Proto-Indo-European *ghrei-, "to rub," "to anoint," which evolved into Khristós in classical Greek usage, meaning anointed or covered in oil, and was used to translate Hebrew "messiah" ("Anointed"), evolving into Latin Christus and English Christ. Christ" (pronounced /ˈkraɪst/) is a title derived from the Greek Χριστός (Christós), meaning the "Anointed One", a translation of the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (Messiah).[citation needed]
[edit] Usage in food
A dosa in South India served with ghee

Ghee is widely used in Indian cuisine. However, it is mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and is probably Akkadian in origin[citation needed]. In many parts of India and Pakistan, especially in Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Bengal, Orissa and many other states, rice is traditionally prepared or served with ghee (including biryani). In the Bharuch district of Gujarat, Ghee is served with kichdi, usually an evening meal of yellow rice with curry, a sauce made from yoghurt, cumin seeds, kari leaves, ghee, cornflour, tumeric, garlic and salt. Ghee is also an ingredient as well as used in the preparation of kadhi and used in Indian and Pakistani sweets such as Mysore pak, and different varieties of halva and laddu. Punjabi cuisine prepared in restaurants uses large amounts of ghee. Naan and roti are sometimes brushed with ghee, either during preparation or while serving. Ghee is an important part of Punjabi Cuisine and traditionally, the Parathas, Daals and Curries in Punjab often use Ghee instead of oil, in order to give the food added richness.

Ghee is an ideal fat for deep frying because its smoke point (where its molecules begin to break down) is 250 °C (482 °F), which is well above typical cooking temperatures of around 200 °C (392 °F) and above that of most vegetable oils.
[edit] Nutrition

Like any clarified butter, ghee is composed almost entirely of fat; the nutrition facts label found on bottled cow's ghee produced in the USA indicates eight mg. of cholesterol per teaspoon. Ghee is very high in Vitamin A and Vitamin D content. It can be supportive for eye, legs, hands and bone health.[citation needed] Ghee helps the absorption of not only vitamins and minerals but also phytonutrients.[citation needed]

Ghee has been shown in one rodent study to reduce serum cholesterol slightly, but not significantly.[3] Studies in Wistar rats have revealed one mechanism by which ghee reduces plasma LDL cholesterol. This action is mediated by an increased secretion of biliary lipids.

Indian restaurants and some households may use hydrogenated vegetable oil (also known as vanaspati, dalda, or "vegetable ghee") in place of ghee because of its lower cost. This "vegetable ghee" may contain trans fat. Trans fats are increasingly linked to serious chronic health conditions. The term shuddh ghee, however, is not officially enforced in many regions, so partially hydrogenated oils are marketed as pure ghee in some areas. Where this is illegal in India, law enforcement often cracks down on the sale of fake ghee.[4] Ghee is also sometimes called desi (country-made) ghee or asli (genuine) ghee to distinguish it from "vegetable ghee."

Ghee is actually quite expensive now in India: about 500 rupees for 2 kilos and therefore is mainly used as a flavor seasoning in lentil soups or spread on chappatis. The poor do not use it because of the cost. Many middle + upper middle Indian weddings will use ghee in the celebratory foods as it is considered very upscale.
[edit] Outside South Asia

Several cultures make ghee outside of South Asia. Egyptians make a product called سمنة بلدي (meaning "local ghee"; i.e., Egyptian ghee) virtually identical to ghee in terms of process and end result. In Ethiopia, niter kibbeh (Amharic: ንጥር ቅቤ niṭer ḳibē) is made and used in much the same way as ghee, but with spices added during the process that result in a distinctive taste. Moroccans (especially Berbers) take this one step further, aging spiced ghee in the ground for months or even years, resulting in a product called smen. In northeastern Brazil, an unrefrigerated butter very similar to ghee, called manteiga-de-garrafa (butter-in-a-bottle) or manteiga-da-terra (butter of the land), is common. In Europe, it is also widely used. For example, Wiener Schnitzel is traditionally fried in a version of ghee called Butterschmalz. Among pastoralist communities in East Africa such as the Nandi, Tugen and Maasai communities, ghee and flocculated by-products (Kamaek) from ghee-making were traditionally used as cooking oil. Ghee is highly valued for its flavour.

Might work for a shock oil though, if you like something stiff in your back end?

Didn't they use Ghee in pro flex shocks?

I wasnt just speaking by wiki..I actually worked in the Engineering gasket rubber and plastics industry (james walker & co)for 15 years..to save a lot of typing i did select the relative text.
I wasnt starting a paste off just trying to be help full saying that... i should have said I think polyurethane is a good material and left it at that. however some one would have said how do you know.

You can't win, consider the forum like your misses, any answer will be twisted.



A helpful hint, googling the first paragraph of your post gives you this...

http://www.polymerplastics.com/mechanical_polyure.shtml

Word for word your post, all the ammo the bored people need to annoy you.

Put some effort in and at least re-write it a bit, and people are more likely to believe you know what you are talking about instead of just recycling something from the 'net. If you can't be arsed just post the link.



Personally I like a bit of abuse and virtual prodding online to keep people on thier toes, but it upsets others and I have to keep the peace.

Going back to teh link of teh chap on Ebay... I saw he does 1" rear spaces for a "surf" which I assume will mean 2nd gen...

Can anyone confirm if they are interchangeable with 3rd Gens or not?

I want to combine them with a roughtrax 2" kit for 3" of lift at the back...

Don't forget that a Roughtrax "+2inch" kit isn't really +2" - it works out more like an inch and a half tops usually so you might want to think about getting 2" spacers!

[Karma Supra]

Really???

Surely that a case for trade decriptions then!!

Slightly disapointed I must admit!

Turd Gen springs are different to 2nd Gen ones, I'm not sure if they'd fit or not.

Yes, I wondered that, too. I suppose that you could always speak to them, and see if they can "tweak" the deal for a few quid more, giving you exactly what you need....Good luck....Mick.
