Ghee Recipes

GHEE

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet, over medium to medium low heat, heat butter until completely melted. Watch as butter boils, first with large bubbles and white milk solids floating on the surface, then with only a fine white foam filling entire surface. Stir occasionally.
• Soon small patches of golden brown will appear on the surface, and overall color of butter will change from yellow to golden. Push aside foam periodically to check color of sediment. When sediment turns light brown, remove from heat (see note).
• Decant into a jar with a tight lid. Warm, if desired, for serving over rice.

GHEE

Steps:

• Place butter in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring butter to boil. This takes approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. The butter will form a foam which will disappear. Ghee is done when a second foam forms on top of butter, and the butter turns golden. Approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Brown milk solids will be in bottom of pan. Gently pour into heatproof container through fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Store in airtight container being sure to keep free from moisture. Ghee does not need refrigeration and will keep in airtight container for up to 1 month.

GHEE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a small, sturdy pan and cook over a low heat without stirring for 15-20 mins, or until the milk solids start to brown and the butter is golden. Turn the heat off and leave the pan undisturbed for a few minutes.
• Line a metal sieve with muslin or strong kitchen paper, and place over a heatproof bowl. Pour in the melted butter, taking care to leave the browned milk solids in the pan. Leave for a few minutes to drip into the bowl, then transfer to a jar. Because ghee has no moisture or milk solids, it will keep for up to three months at room temperature, but can also be stored in the fridge for extra longevity.
