Ghee
A2 Ghee for Babies: When to Start and How to Use It
A2 ghee is traditionally introduced once a baby is comfortably eating solids, typically from around six to eight months, starting with a few drops mixed into warm khichdi or dal.

Ghee
How Bilona Ghee Is Made: A Step-by-Step Look at the Traditional Process
Bilona ghee is made by setting fresh whole milk into curd overnight, hand-churning the curd into butter with a wooden churner in cold water, and slow-cooking that butter over a low flame until the water evaporates and the milk solids caramelise into golden ghee. The whole process takes the better part of a day for a single small batch — which is why traditional bilona ghee is rarely cheap, and almost never industrial.
