When ghee is heated beyond this temperature, it starts emitting smoke and may produce harmful chemical compounds. When paratha is made, the fumes from ghee can have adverse health effects.
Although the smoking point of desi ghee is relatively high, but if you heat the ghee for tadka so much that smoke starts coming out, it can also be harmful to health. While cooking, always keep in mind that ghee should not burn and smoke should not form.
