Ghee is almost pure fat at about 897 kcal per 100 g, but one small teaspoon on your roti is only about 45 kcal. It will not make you fat by itself — pouring it freely, day after day, is what quietly adds the calories.

Mostly false. Ghee is almost pure fat, so a lot of it will add calories fast. But a single teaspoon on your roti is only about 45 kcal — that will not make you fat. The quantity is what matters, not the ghee itself.
