Normally speaking that is not the dawn phenomenon but a delayed reaction to the carbs due to the high fat contents like is to be expected with chips, pizza, egg rol etc.

Ghee is not unhealthy. In fact, ghee is nothing but butter with all the fat removed. If you ate from take away orders, it most prohably isn't ghee but hydrogenated vegetable oil (vanaspati) which is highly processed and is known to spike blood sugar levels.

I make ghee at my home and use it in all my low carb foods. Never have seen a hike in my BG
