About Ghee Recipe

Ghee is such a versatile ingredient and have a long shelf life than butter. 

Now that i have started feeding rice to maha. I never miss to add ghee in her rice or dosa. Speaking of ghee, i never use store bought ghee for her. Each time i make my own ghee and store it for it. It is much more healthy and tasty. I got so many mails from my viewers to share the recipe of homemade ghee, so they can make it for their babies. I have made a huge batch of ghee on hand, so i will not be able to make a new batch now. 

This ghee is much more aromatic than your store bought ones and you will be smelling it all the time.

First check out Homemade Butter Recipe

Take butter in a heavy bottom pan and heat it up on medium heat.

Step 2:

Now the butter will melt and the milk solids will separate from it and start to foam up. Keep on heating, now the foam will subside a little and it will bubble up. The water from the butter will start evaporating and reducing. Now the milk solid will get toasted and it will get settled at the bottom, leaving a clear gold liquid.

Step 3:

Now add in drumstick leaves and let them crisp up. Once crisped, turn off the heat and let the ghee gets cool.

Step 4: 

Once it is cooled, strain it in an air tight container. Store at room temp.
