Are ghee and clarified butter the same?

If you ask, are Ghee and clarified butter the same, the answer will be no, because they are produced using slightly different methods. Clarified butter is made by melting unsalted butter, which causes the milk solids to separate from the liquid butterfat. The solids are then removed, leaving the liquid butterfat, which is the clarified butter. Ghee, on the other hand, is made by simmering butter until the milk solids are golden brown and then straining them out. This process gives the ghee a nutty, caramelized flavor, which is different from the taste of clarified butter. Ghee also has a higher smoke point than clarified butter, which means it can be used at higher temperatures for cooking without burning. In summary, ghee is made from clarified butter and further cooked till the golden brown and nutty flavor and it has a higher smoke point.
