Salam,
Yes I use ghee, when I have the time to make it. It is good for you, and considering that canola oil is a genetic modified crop, it is very wise alternative to be choosing.
I dont see any problem with cooking with ghee exactly as with oil.
If you make it or buy it, it doesnt really matter, just make sure to use unsalted butter if you make it yourself. It is kept out of the fridge aswell.
If you need help to make it let me know.

Iv'e never actually cooked with ghee myself...when i was living in pakistan food ( mainly that came from outside..restaurants etc) was cooked in ghee..if u put it in the fridge the ghee used to go hard...maybe it was just bad quality thats why!

perhaps ....I have always found it to be lighter than oil....especially cheap vegie and canola oils....you dont need much either....I just love the goldeness of it....I really love it, but it does need to be made with care.....if there are any curds left, then i can understand why it would go hard.....just like cooking with butter
Hope you have a good experience with ghee........

Well, I was thinking of frying some chicken and french fries with at first but I found you can use it to cook rice (i think, i can't remember at the moment) but I thought it might be a healthier option instead of frying with oil.

I dont think it will matter.....if youa re eating fried chicken and chips, then its gonna be somewhat unhealthy whatever you use....hehe!
I would use the ghee, just because canola is a genetically modified crop and I appose the playing around with the seeds that feed us....i'm not into scientists playing God.

Olives are fine that I know of (not genetically modified).....i use olive oil a lot, but I know it changes when it is cooked and we then start dealing with bad fats.....olive oil is best cold pressed and not cooked past the smoking stage
for frying either ghee or vegie oil.....sesame is good also.....depends on what you are cooking.
I would try any alternative to canola....its bad for us, and its been messed around with

well since I wrote this post I've never did experiment with the Ghee even though I think I should eventually. I have cut down on frying but what can I say...I love fried chicken.

Once, when I was pregnant with my first child, I got this really really bad pregnancy-craving for popcorn. Home made, that is. I was out of oil, it was a Sunday, and so I thought I try the ghee we had (I use it once a year to make some Algerian cakes lol)...
Let me just say EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW that was AWFULL lol.
And to top it off, I had no real salt either, just some healthy-salt kind of thingie. And that was even worse. Hehehehe.
