Yes, many traditional Indian dishes, especially from the northern regions, use clarified butter (ghee) for cooking. It adds a rich, buttery flavor that's hard to beat!
From personal experience, using ghee takes the flavor of Indian dishes to a whole new level. You gotta try it!
Not always! Plenty of Indian dishes are cooked with vegetable oil or even butter. It really depends on the recipe and region.
