I think it’s a variant of butter.

Clarified butter. They spoon out all the stuff that forms on top when melting butter.

"Ghee is a class of clarified butter that originated in India and is commonly used in South Asian cuisine and ritual. The word ghee comes from Sanskrit: घृत and has several names around the world." Wikipedia.

My mom in India heated home made butter to boiling point which separated the fat from non fat ingredients in butter.
The non-fat stuff rose to the top and was skimmed off. The remaining liquid is Ghee, which could last for weeks without refrigeration. (almost no one had no refrigerators in those days).
