Equipment

  • Deep Thick Kadai
  • Glass jar
  • strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Unsalted butter (preferably high-quality)

Instructions
 

Preparation:

  • Daily take out the cream on top layer of milk and store in refrigerator

Melting:

  • Place the cream/butter in a heavy-bottomed pan or saucepan over medium heat.

Slow Heating:

  • Allow the cream/butter to melt slowly. Once melted, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.

Simmering:

  • Simmer the cream/butter on low heat. As it simmers, the water content will evaporate, and the milk solids will separate from the golden liquid.

Observation:

  • As the ghee simmers, you'll notice three distinct layers forming: foamy on top, clarified liquid in the middle, and milk solids at the bottom.

Foamy Stage:

  • The foamy layer on top will gradually disappear, and the sound of simmering will change, indicating that the water content is evaporating.

Clarification:

  • The butter will go from a clear liquid to a beautifully clear, golden liquid. At this point, you'll see the milk solids at the bottom beginning to brown.

Milk Solids Browning:

  • Once the milk solids turn a light golden brown and the liquid becomes clear, turn off the heat.

Straining:

  • Allow the ghee to cool for a few minutes. Then, using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the liquid into a clean, dry glass jar. This removes the browned milk solids, leaving you with pure ghee.

Cooling and Storage:

  • Let the ghee cool completely before sealing the jar. Store it at room temperature or in the refrigerator for an extended shelf life.
