Homemade Ghee | Indian Superfood | How to make Ghee Using Unsalted Butter | Cooking Tips And Tricks By Masterchefmom

Hi Supermoms,

We all know the health benefits of ghee (also known as clarified butter). Consuming small quantities of ghee everyday is a good way to build our immunity. Ghee is considered pure , cleansing and is held in high respect in Ayurveda. 

Many of you have been asking me to share tips and tricks to make ghee at home easily. So today I am sharing the recipe to get ghee from unsalted butter. The ghee made from the unsalted butter tastes so amazing than any store bought ghee.

Traditionally, the cream of milk is removed and collected in a jar or bottle for a few days. Then this cream is fermented using curd. From this creamy curd, the butter is separated . This butter is then melted to get ghee. I will surely share this method soon. For now, I will share an even simpler method.

You can follow the simple steps that I have mentioned below and your fresh batch of ghee will be ready within fifteen minutes. A dash of ghee adds so much taste, flavour and health to all our dishes. I am sure you will agree. 

Interesting Trivia: As a habit, I always add a drop of ghee to cooked rice and offer a small ladleful to the birds before we consume the rest of it. What’s your ghee trivia!

Lets now go to the recipe. Do try and share your feedback with me.

3. Once the entire brick of butter melts, you will start to hear louder sound of the ghee cooking.
4. Larger bubbles will start forming. Keep stirring gently.
5. The loud sound will stop and the bubbles will become smaller and start rising up .
6. Immediately switch off.
