In my previous post, we looked at how to make White Butter or Makhan, now we will make homemade Clarified Butter or Desi Ghee which we will prepare from Makhan. The Makhan itself is made from Malai.

I have learnt this from my mom as I have always seen her preparing Ghee at home whenever Milk Cream gets accumulated at home. We can use it in our daily cooking. This Ghee has a lot of medicinal value as well, go ask your Dadi for more!

Ingredients Used for Homemade Ghee:

Cooking Time: 15 min

1. Unsalted Butter – 200 gram – Follow the recipe here to get to this unsalted butter from Malai.

Important Points to be noted in this Homemade Desi Ghee Recipe:

1. We should use the stainless steel strainer to separate Ghee and Solid Fats because Ghee will be too hot to be passed through plastic Strainer.

2. Store it in a glass or steel container. Do not use any form of plastic container.
