But let’s be honest, how do you actually add ghee to your routine without making it complicated or boring?

This blog gives you 7 simple, practical, Nani-approved ways to use ghee every single day, without needing new recipes, fancy diets, or extra time.

1️⃣ Start Your Day with Ghee in Warm Water

This is an Ayurvedic classic.

How to do it:

• Add 1 tsp of ghee to a cup of warm water (you can also add a pinch of haldi or ginger powder)
  
• Drink it first thing in the morning, empty stomach
  

Benefits:

• Fires up digestion
  
• Clears your gut

• Reduces bloating and acidity
  

It’s like oiling the engine before a drive - smooth, steady, and efficient.

 

2️⃣ Use Ghee for Cooking (Instead of Oil)

Most Indian meals involve cooking, so this is your easiest swap.

Instead of refined vegetable oils, use A2 Bilona Ghee for:

• Tadka (tempering)
  
• Cooking veggies
  
• Making parathas
  
• Roasting jeera, hing, or methi
  

Why ghee works better:

• Higher smoke point (won’t oxidize like oils)
  
• Rich in good fats
  
• Enhances taste, aroma, and digestion
  

And yes, your dal will taste 3x better.

 

3️⃣ Drizzle It Over Rice, Roti or Khichdi

This is the classic Nani move...
A spoonful of ghee over your:

• Steamed rice
  
• Soft phulka
  
• Moong dal khichdi
  

Not only does it taste better, it also:

• Slows down the glucose spike
  
• Helps you feel full faster
  
• Enhances nutrient absorption
  

Want to make kids eat better? Ghee. Want to comfort your stomach? Ghee.

 

4️⃣ Add It to Hot Milk at Night

Having trouble sleeping? Feeling anxious? Hormones out of whack?

Try this ancient sleep remedy:

• 1 glass of warm A2 milk
  
• 1/2 tsp ghee
  
• Optional: Pinch of turmeric, nutmeg, or saffron
  

This mix:

• Calms your nervous system
  
• Supports deep, uninterrupted sleep
  
• Balances Pitta (heat) and Vata (restlessness)
  

Bonus: It’s great for your skin and immunity too.

 

5️⃣ Use Ghee in Your Breakfast

Upgrade your morning meals with ghee:

• Spread it on toast or paratha
  
• Mix it in upma or poha
  
• Add to oats with jaggery and nuts
  
• Toss it into sautéed greens or veggies
  

You’ll:

• Stay fuller longer
  
• Avoid energy crashes
  
• Improve gut comfort throughout the day
  

Ghee pairs well with sweet and savory. It’s your breakfast bestie.

 

6️⃣ Try Ghee as a Supplement Carrier

Ayurveda calls ghee a Yogavahi, it carries herbs deeper into tissues.

You can mix ghee with:

• Chyawanprash (immune tonic)
  
• Ashwagandha powder (stress relief)
  
• Haldi & black pepper (anti-inflammatory combo)
  

Take this with warm water or milk for better absorption and faster results.

Ghee turns good ingredients into great results.

 

7️⃣ Add It to Soups, Dals & Dips

Want to boost the nutritional value of your:

• Lentil soups
  
• Tomato rasam
  
• Vegetable broths
  
• Homemade dips (like hummus or chutney)?
  

Just swirl in a little ghee at the end. It:

• Adds a creamy finish
  
• Improves fat-soluble vitamin absorption
  
• Increases satiety and richness
  

Even 1 tsp makes a difference.

 

🧘 How Much Ghee Is Too Much?

Always listen to your body. If you feel heavy or sluggish, reduce the quantity.

 

❌ What to Avoid

• Don’t mix ghee with honey in equal amounts
  
• Don’t reuse ghee after deep frying
  
• Don’t overheat ghee to smoking point
  
• Don’t pair with incompatible foods like meat-heavy dishes
  
  

✅ Quick Recap: Your 7 Ghee Rituals

• Morning: Warm water + ghee
  
• Breakfast: Paratha, oats, or poha
  
• Cooking: Use ghee for tadka and veggies
  
• Rice/roti: Drizzle on top
  
• Night: Ghee in milk

Final Thought: Consistency Over Quantity

You don’t need big changes.

Just a few teaspoons a day of pure, traditionally made ghee, and your body will thank you in more ways than one.

And remember:
It’s not about eating more ghee. It’s about eating the right kind.
