Can food be fried in butter: an unexpected answer

When asked whether it is possible to fry food in butter, people are divided into two camps: some unanimously say it is, while others say that the food will burn and it is very harmful.

Food blogger Diana Kuzina  (dian_kuzina) shared on her Instagram page whether it is possible to fry in butter.

The answer is simple – you can fry in butter. But there is one caveat: ordinary butter is not a very good option, ghee is the most suitable. This type of butter is very common in India, and its name comes from there. You can buy it in a supermarket or make it at home.
