Cuisine: Indian

Category: Indian kitchen basics

Serves: -

Prep time: 10 Minutes

Cook time: 10 Minutes

Total time: 20 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

Unsalted Butter – 500 gms ( I use Nandini) Curd – 1/4 tsp Crystal salt – 1/4 tsp Curry leaves / Drumstick leaves – few Methi seeds – 1/4 tsp (optional)

METHOD

Take the butter out and put it in a wide , big vessel .( I normally use an aluminium pan which is almost three times bigger because while melting the froth raises till the rim of the vessel).Switch on the flame and start melting the butter by placing a wooden ladle .Keep the flame high and keep on stirring till the butter melts completely .( by stirring continuously , u’ll get less residue at the end). Now simmer the flame and mix well. It will boil and become frothy by producing big bubbles.It produces a hiss sound. After few minutes , the bubbles will cease and the froth rises.(make sure the flame is low). After a few secs from rising , u’ll see tiny brown spots that appear on the top. As soon as u see a single brown spot , add little curd & mix well. After u add the curd u’ll get a noise.Switch off the flame &Mix well .U’ll see lot of brown spots. Remove the vessel from the stove. Add few curry leaves/ drumstick leaves & pinch of methi seeds if needed… After it cools down,the residue will settle down at the bottom and transfer the ghee alone to the desired bowl ..Keep the bowl open for sometime. Then close it with a lid and use whenever required.. U  can use the residue by mixing in plain rice or by adding in sambar or pongal.I usually do this..

Note

U can add jeera and one whole red chilly while making ghee.It never changes the taste of ghee. It just enhances the aroma.U can use this ghee for making sweets without any doubt . But adding them are optional. I don’t use it often. Crystal salt is used for the residue to settle down easily. Adding methi seeds is optional. If u wish, add along with curry leaves at the end . ie. before switching off the flame. Drumstick leaves can also be added instead of curry leaves. U should be more careful when the brown spots appear. Keep the lights on in your kitchen and keep watching at this stage.I add curd as soon as i see a single brown spot. I Mix it and switch off the flame. But my MIL waits for more spots to come. Also she removes the vessel from the stove and keeps it in a plate of water to cool down quickly.
