preparation
In its preparation, it is comparable to Indian ghee , but various spices ( garlic and ginger , as well as caraway , coriander , turmeric , cardamom , cinnamon or nutmeg ) are added during the boiling process. The clarified butter, which is still liquid, is then filtered. Nitir qibe, like Indian ghee, is heated longer than ordinary clarified butter and is therefore slightly browned and has a roasted aroma.
