Best lightly roasted before use, imparting a nutty aroma and crunchy texture to dishes. In India the seeds are usually ground, to thicken and flavour sauces. Tastes good in sweet pastries, breads and is ideal for garnishing vegetables.

Ghee is clarified butter. You can make it at home or pick up a jar. The solids are removed from the butter, eliminating LDLs, or "bad" cholesterol. Clarified butter can be used to cook at higher temperatures than non-clarified butter. Also, practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine believe ghee has healing powers.
