In case of melted ghee, all you have to do is to mix it with other ingredients and use it as a light creamy spread for cookies, cakes, potatoes, etc. Clarified butter is preferred in some Indian recipes like Indian pancake and other dessert recipes because of its ability to retain the moisture in the dish. You can use the same recipe to make crispy cookies or fried chicken without having to wait for the other ingredient to reach the boiling point. Clarified butter not only adds a nice flavor to your food it also keeps your food moist.
