Summary: This blog positions A2 Desi Cow Ghee as the superior choice for roasting healthy, homemade snacks. It explains how the high smoke point and rich nutrient profile of Bilona ghee – containing Omega-3s and essential vitamins – make it a safer and more nourishing alternative to refined oils. By providing easy recipes for Makhanas, nuts, and Poha Chivda, the content demonstrates how a simple switch in cooking medium can satisfy cravings while supporting digestive health and immunity.
Key Highlights:
- High Thermal Stability: Boasts a smoke point of 250°C, preventing the formation of harmful toxins during roasting.
- Digestion-Friendly: Contains Butyric acid, which supports gut health and prevents the “heavy” feeling associated with deep-fried snacks.
- Nutrient Booster: Acts as a carrier for fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), helping your body absorb more nutrition from your snacks.
- Bilona Purity: Mr. Milk uses the traditional curd-churning method to ensure 100% natural, additive-free quality.
We’ve all been there: it’s 4:00 PM, the “tea-time hunger” hits, and you reach for a packet of processed chips. The guilt usually follows the first bite. But what if your snacks could be nourishing rather than just “filling”?
Enter A2 Desi Cow Ghee-roasted snacks. By swapping refined oils for the “Liquid Gold” of Indian kitchens, you transform everyday munchies into power-packed superfoods.
Why Choose A2 Desi Cow Ghee for Roasting?
Most refined oils oxidise at high temperatures, releasing free radicals. A2 Desi Cow Ghee – especially when made from Gir or Sahiwal cows – has a remarkably high smoke point (around 250°C), meaning it stays stable and healthy even when you’re achieving that perfect golden crunch.
The A2 Nutritional Edge:
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Supports heart health and brain function.
- Fat-Soluble Vitamins (A, D, E, K): Essential for immunity and skin health.
- Butyric Acid: Aids digestion, ensuring your snacks are light on the stomach.

Actually, A2 Ghee contains Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) and CLA, which can aid metabolism. When used in moderation for roasting (1–2 tbsp), it provides satiety, helping you avoid overeating sugary or processed snacks.
Unlike refined oils, ghee is very stable. However, for roasting, the ghee is usually absorbed by the snacks (like Makhanas). If there is any leftover, it can be reused as long as it hasn’t been heated to the point of smoking or burning.
Absolutely. It is one of the best fats for growing children as it supports brain development and bone health. Ghee-roasted nuts are a much better alternative to store-bought biscuits.
Once the snacks have cooled down to room temperature, store them in an airtight glass jar. This keeps them crispy for up to 2 weeks (though they usually vanish much sooner!).
