Fresh Ghee/Clarified Butter


Ghee also known as clarified butter has many health benefits.  One of the grandma's kitchen herbal medicine known to heal internal injuries when taken regularly. Since childhood days i have seen tedious process of collecting the cream of milk and curd daily and after that putting it into a glass bottle with cold water and continuously shaking for an hour brings butter. Then this butter is heated further to make ghee. Tedious process....hmmmm....Thanks to the ready made available butter today in super markets ghee making is very easy and gets done in 10 to 15 min. You may think why to make Ghee from butter if ghee is also readily available in markets. But i feel they doesn't have the Traditional home made nice ghee smell which i am used to from childhood. So here we go... Lets see how to make this aromatic and delicious ghee.

Ingredients:-
Butter - 220 gms

1. Melt butter in a pan.
