Restaurants make omelettes fluffy by incorporating air into the eggs while beating them. They use a whisk or a fork to whisk the eggs vigorously and then add a splash of milk or cream to make them even lighter. This creates small air pockets in the eggs, which expands during the cooking process and makes the omelette fluffy. Additionally, some chefs may use a technique called “double flipping” while cooking the omelette, which also helps to create volume and fluffiness.

Ghee is made from butter by melting the butter in a saucepan until it separates into three layers – milk solids, water, and clarified butterfat. The mixture is then simmered until the milk solids brown and sink to the bottom of the pot and the ghee turns a golden color. The water and milk solids are then removed, leaving behind the pure clarified butterfat. The ghee can then be strained, cooled, and stored in an airtight container for use in cooking and other purposes.

It is always better to err on the side of caution and dispose of lemon curd that shows any signs of spoilage.
