How to Make Homemade Ghee?








How to make homemade ghee from butter? 

1. Heat unsalted butter in a thick bottomed wok , over medium heat.
2. When the butter melts, reduce the heat to low. It will start boiling. You will see bubbles and a thin white layer. It will have foam on top of it indicating that ghee is nearly done.
3. After some time the liquid becomes transparent and clear. It will become golden brown in colour and aromatic. Sprinkle little water on the ghee, if you heard crackling sound that means ghee is done.

Some people add turmeric leaf while making ghee. It gives a nice texture and a nice aroma to the ghee.


Once you get a nice golden colour, immediately turn off the heat otherwise it can burn.
Strain it when hot and store it in a clean container. It does not need to be refrigerated. 



In many Indian preparations you can use ghee as cooking oil. Ghee has many benefits in terms of health and beauty.Especially cow ghee is very good for your health.
