ReplyDeleteHi ambreen, why do we hv to melt, freeze, and then bring back to room temperature?
ReplyDeleteGhee has a grainy texture, melting makes it smooth. Freezing or refrigeration will give it a butter like texture which will be easier to beat and the resulting cookies will be melt-in-your-mouth type. But you can skip this step, just beat ghee & sugar until creamy :)
