Curd vs Cream – The right ingredient for making perfect ghee

Curd-Based vs Cream-Based Ghee: Which One Is Right for You?

What’s the Difference Between Curd-Based and Cream-Based Ghee?

Curd based ghee or cream based ghee. Most of you might not know how they are different and why it matters. But when it comes to ghee, the method of preparation plays a huge role in determining its quality, texture, and health benefits. 

These two processes can produce two completely different ghees, and this has an effect on your health. 

So let’s try to understand these methods simply!

Curd-Based Ghee (Bilona Method):

Made using a traditional two-step fermentation process:

  1. Milk is turned into curd (dahi) using natural starter cultures.

  2. The curd is churned to make butter, which is then slowly heated to make ghee.

Cream-Based Ghee (Direct Cream Method):

Made by simply separating cream from milk (using centrifugation) and heating it directly to form ghee.

Which Ghee Offers More Health Benefits?

  • Curd-Based Ghee is rich in lactic acid bacteria, thanks to fermentation, which makes it easier to digest. It also contains short-chain fatty acids, like butyric acid, which have anti-inflammatory benefits and support gut health.

  • Cream-Based Ghee lacks the probiotic benefits since it skips the fermentation process. While it’s still a good fat for cooking, it doesn’t provide the same therapeutic benefits as curd-based ghee.

Nutritional Comparison:

  • Calories: Both types have around 900-902 kcal per 100g.

  • Saturated Fat: Curd-based ghee has slightly lower saturated fats (60–65g) compared to cream-based ghee (65–70g).

  • Butyric Acid: Curd-based ghee has higher levels (4-5%) compared to cream-based ghee (2.5–3%).

  • Omega-3s & CLA: Curd-based ghee contains more omega-3 fatty acids and higher CLA (1.2-1.5%).
