Ghee - Making at Home

Making ghee at home is a simple process of melting the butter and clarifying it. It gives satisfaction to me when I use my home made ghee for cooking and for kids.

Ingredients:

• Unsalted Butter -  8 Oz

Procedure:

• Heat a sauce pan on medium heat. Put unsalted butter in it.

• Let it melt and boil. Bubble layer is formed with full sizzling sound, because of the water content in it. Stir it occasionally.

• Once you hear the sizzling sound is going low, reduce the heat and watch carefully for a clear layer of bubble. 

• Now you see all the sizzling sound is gone and rest is the clarified butter. Let the mava(a creamy residue) turns to golden brown and remove it from the stove.  The below picture shows the clear bubbles and mava turning golden brown.

• Let it cools down.

• Filter the residue and store the ghee in a fresh dry bottle. Make sure the ghee is cold enough to close the lid.

• Now what to do with the residue? Its going to be an yummy sweet. Just add some brown sugar(Jaggery) if desirable, add a pinch of cardamom powder and mix.

• Eat..., oh no....wait.., just share and taste it.. hhhmmmm... yummm..
