How to make Ghee

Ingredients

• 750 gms softened unsalted butter
• Glass jar to store ghee

Steps

1. Add the butter to a large saucepan over a low flame and let it melt. This should take around 15-20 minutes. A layer of white foam will appear over the surface skim it off with a spoon. Let the butter simmer and bubble away for 30-35 minutes. Make sure to scrape off the sides although there is no need to stir the bottom of the pan. You need the milk solids to settle so you can see the layers. Skim off any additional foam that collects over the top and turn the heat off.
2. Cool the ghee and by now all the milk solids will have settled to the bottom of the pan with a clear liquid at the top. Line a sieve with a cheese cloth or muslin. Strain the ghee with the lined sieve in the pouring jug. Store the ghee in a sealed glass jar. Cool and store the jar at room temperature or refrigerate.
