Here in India, we adopt a much simpler method. We heat the butter (A few more minutes than what you showed) till all the solids sink to the bottom and till the foam/lather on top almost disappears. Then we let it settle for about 5 minutes. Then gently pour it in a glass container. Ladies here are so adept at this step that they don't need any filter. Also we don't stir it while it's simmering. Feeling glad to see an 'India specific' foodstuff being so popular out of India. Best wishes!

I used this video to make Ghee. I put it in a mason jar and set it on the counter where it has been for 3 years. I used it a few days ago for the first time and it was great! Fried a couple of over easy eggs and it had a buttery, nutty flavor. So here it is days later and I'm still alive and enjoying this preserved butter!

Nice, I fell in love with ghee many years ago. Grew up on a dairy farm so we made all our buttermilk, cheese, cottage cheese and butter, made lots of ghee, we called it rarified butter. It will store in the pantry for a very long time. Has a flavor to die for.

[@Jabsgal101]

I'm Indian and so happy you're talking about ghee! You can do so much with ghee. Pan fry your bread with ghee and add a bit of salt and pepper or have it plain. Add a bit of ghee to hot rice and throw in some sugar and have a lovely meal. Use ghee on hot rotis or chapatis especially in the winters. If you can get hold of jaggery or Gur, then on hot rotis, spread ghee and add some crushed jaggery, make it into a roll and you have a lovely no fuss dessert. Gur is very rich in iron so go easy on it. It can give you the runs if you over indulge, lol. Another tip, when you're done making the ghee, don't throw away what's left. Add it to your gravies, or flour when you're making bread, chapatis or any flat bread.

FYI all wooden utensils and cutting boards should be oiled to keep them for years. Gather all your wood stuff and heavily oil with food grade mineral oil and let it soak in overnight and wipe down in the morning and return to it’s place. Mineral oil is not expensive and can be found with medicines and sold as a lubricant laxative. They sell cutting board oil which is just mineral oil for so much money. My wooden kitchen items are old and beautiful. They get better with age if you oil them once in a while. I will gather everything together when I feel that the wood needs some love.

I m from India, though your process of making ghee is good yet I would say u better go for the authentic recipe or how is it made in India. Very simple, buy cows milk, put it on stove, let it be heated for couple of minutes, u will find a thick layers forming which eventually tends to spilt over from your pan, lower ur stove collect that layer with a spoon and keep it in a container. Repeat the process as long as u can collect the layer. Once u r done collecting those layers. Put the container of layer on the stove. Keep it heating as long as u don't. see a transparent liquid. Cool down the liquid and ur ghee is ready. What my mother does. She keeps the layers in the refrigerator. Whenever she needs ghee she just scoop out some layers and heat it for few minutes. Please pardon my English.

Tasted what was left in the pot, and that was not pleasant, with slightly bitter, grainy texture. lol

Made this in 2017 not long after you published this video. I have several jars sitting on the shelf and I just opened one to check- still looking, smelling , and tasting great 2 years later! Thanks for sharing this great technique with us!

[@paolilocal4132]

Thank you for turning me on to this. However, I had a problem with browning (if I let it go too long), or pale-yellow areas in the cooled ghee (if I shortened the time). When I reheated the ghee with the pale areas, more foam came up, indicating persistent proteins. In other words, I found it hard to stop at the exact right time, even if I adjusted the heat. I got better results by just skimming the foam each time foam occurred, until there was no more foam. This prevented browning, because the milk proteins were gone and never browned. With this technique, I got a uniformly yellow color in the cooled ghee, and I was sure all the proteins were gone, because I could just watch the simmering ghee as long as I wanted, to ensure there was no more foam, without worrying about browning.

[@CatsRule]

I do it the same way, When all the foam is skimmed off, the liquid ghee will be clear and very still and can then be poured through a fine metal sieve into glass containers. PS: Be extremely careful while pouring as the ghee is extremely hot at that point.

[@kathrynanderson9266]

I like this. Am going to try this next time.

[@kailee5694]

Actually, browned butter is delicious. It’s the black/burnt butter that has limited use. When I took a cooking class, we didn’t strain it. We poured it out into a container, let it cool, refrigerated it, popped it out of the container, and then scraped off the bottom layer of solids and any foam from the top. Just an idea for those worried about the cost of straining material.

[@veronicamoorman1618]

Did you see my questions

[@Kamamura2]

@@veronicamoorman1618 Don't do, what the guy says. The whole purpose of making ghee is to remove moisture and everything besides pure fat. Being pure fat is what gives so long shelf life. By adding rice, you will contaminate the fat with other components that can then serve as a substrate to grow bacteria and mold. If you want a cooked rice with butter, cook rice in water normally and add the ghee in the end. But you don't need rice to "purify your ghee" - while boiling, the water will evaporate, and the milk solids will precipitate and can be then filtered out. The process is already perfected, no need to "improve" it.

My favorite use for this is popping popcorn. Unlike regular butter it has a high smoke point but still maintains some of the flavor of butter. I add in some very finely ground salt to the bottom of the pan with the clarified butter and then the popcorn. As it pops, it automatically spreads both the salt and the butter over itself. An occasional shake to settle the unpopped kernels to the bottom and ... Voila! buttered popcorn with no extra work.

Ah, yes, I do recall that was sometimes an issue with them... but, somehow in the 1970s it didn't seem to bother us. I think the fabric may have come in different thicknesses/densities of weave though.. :-)

[@roberttschaefer]

There are numerous sources for buying cheese cloth by the yard. Just make sure to boil the fabric prior to using it for food applications. Many of the textile companies that sell the product will instruct you to do that but if you just are just buying it at a fabric store it might not be communicated. Good thing is that you can also wash and reuse it.

Oh my goodness! I made my first ghee months ago thanks to you. Every time I make it, you are my go to perfect recipe. It is the best medium for cooking. I probably use it more than I should!

[@mrunalinee87]

You may use a bunch of drumstick leaves / curry leaves with the stem portion near the end of boiling and finish the process until the leaves are cooked well and remove the bunch of leaves with their stem. The ghee itself smells awesome for a long time and the fried leaves turns crispy while cooling down and they will be delicious. Those fried leaves could be mixed with hot rice, some salt and pepper powder and fresh ghee. Yummy..

I have been wanting to make this for a long time, and have watched your video a number of times. I just finished making my first batch of ghee and it turned out beautiful!! Thank you. I made a few changes based on what I had here. I used two pounds of butter for my first batch...one salted, one unsalted. I also poured my ghee into hot sterilized jars, topped with a sterilized lid & ring, and they 'sealed' within a few minutes. I know it's not officially canned, but it will still last a long time. I have more butter in the freezer and I want to make it into ghee so it's shelf stable. Lord willing, the next project will be learning to pressure can. I have a pressure canner and a steam canner too, but have not used either of them yet. I feel the Lord prompting me to take some of my other freezer goods, especially the meat, and make them shelf stable too. We rely heavily on having stores in the freezer, but if the grid goes down, that food will be lost. Thanks again and God bless.

I like pouring the ghee into little ice cube trays (tiny silicon ones) and after it hardens I can store the cubes in a jar. It makes it REALLY easy to pull out of the jar again in perfect 1-2oz portions without scrapping it out.

[@socialmedia434]

Hi, I am from India, I make ghee twice a month, the same way you made it ,except a few changes. This is my grandmothers recipe. 1. I turn off the heat, when the all milk solids at the bottom and floating ones turn light brown in color. Then i let the ghee sit in the pan for 10 mins. The ghee cooks further, from the residual heat, turning milk solids dark brown. This gives ghee the nutty flavor, and lasts longer(removes all raw butter smell). Also the ghee cools down, its easy to strain a cooled down ghee. 2. i only use a strainer, no cheese cloth is needed, as milk solids are pretty big/chunky in size. the strainer collects them all. When i was i kid, i used to eat the milk solids with a teaspoon of ghee. its sour,chewy, sweet and full of fat. yumm

Just made my first batch of this using my favorite, salted butter and your instruction. Can attest to the fact that salted butter bubbles way too much to see the the final few critical seconds needed in order not to burn. If you use salted butter and are near then end of the process, it will start frothing way too much to see the clear butter. Remove it immediately. Hopefully saved the first batch by paying attention to good instruction. Thank you for sharing.

[@3ammanchef]

Nice presentation, thank you. I prepare clarified butter or ghee in much the same way; to the butter I add burgul (cracked wheat) that sucks the moisture and milk solids. And yes we eat the burgul with honey, it has a wild taste 🍯 a collection of wild flowers and turmeric is added to enhance the flavor of the ghee.

Nothing new! Ghee is the same a butterschmalz, (available at every supermarket) we made that for age with 5 kg blocks of butter when we moved back home from the mountain cottage with all the livestock, cows, goats, pigs, chicken, including the cat, with countless weals of cheese and other dairy products (nobody would eat in the USA :) ) . It was cooked for hours until no foam rising up! It was stored in a glazed earthenware container with a wooden lid in the cellar. It never turned rancid or bad. Austrian alpenwirtschaft.

I love to use ghee to cook seasoned steaks with sea salt and fresh black pepper, fresh 5 garlic sliced placed garlic, mid of frying meat. The end result it browns the edges so nicely. It gives it a wonderful taste. I'm still wanting to find a good way to tenderized meats like the restaurant I go to from time to time. It's absolutely tasty and tenderized and cooked over an open wood fire. Good reporting on how to make ghee. Thanks, It could save us a few dollars just making it ourselves.

I've been cutting up old stained t shirts to use as cheese cloth, or as reusable tiolet wipes. The sleeves work for wipes, and the torso and chest work fir cheese cloth. I've found this a good way to repurpose nasty looking shirts and save money. Plus, sometimes I have trouble finding/ affording tp with a fixed income. That's what the wipes help with. I can still wipe my butt, even if I can't find or afford tp. Waste not want not. It's suprising how you can reuse things if you think. Single use plastic bottles can be washed and reused as well. And if scrubbing clean the inside is an issue, table salt with water and soap shaken inside does the trick to remove even tough mold and mildew inside

[@johnlewis6880]

This method is much to tedious. I use the method described in "Lord Krishna's Cuisine" and make a few quarts at once since it keeps so long. The method has you put the butter in something like a big enameled cast iron pot and put it in the oven at about 325 for several hours. It takes quite a while to drive all the water out but requires virtually no attention while its happening. Eventually the butter turns a light amber color and gets a nutty flavor. Once it stops bubbling a lot the water is gone and the milk solids are on the bottom. I have used coffee filters rather than cheese cloth and filter the product into quart mason jars using a canning funnel to hold the coffee filter.. The reason to make a lot at one time is because its easier to decant most of the butter without mixing any of the milk solids in it and cleanup is no harder for a big batch than for a little pan of ghee..

You made a lot more sense, lol! It turned out beautiful and is downstairs cooling right now. You must have better cheese cloth than me, I had to strain mine twice but now it's perfect.

I have only been using ghee for the past month...and I'm wondering how did I get to be this old and not know about this stuff??

Wow! What a stunning lady and she is right on that this tastes awesome (she could host her own Food Network show....very well produced!). I’ve been doing this process for years but I use a method without the cheesecloth and strainer. You can simply take the pan once it cools just a slight bit and put it in the fridge and the separation will remain. The upper layer (or clarified portion) will harden on top of the milk solids which you can simply cut out a small section of top and dump the milk solids which remain in a fairly liquid form then remelt the hardened clarified section slowly to then store in containers. One more step if you’d like is you can then infuse the clarified section with garlic on a very low heat for 10-15 minutes then using only a strainer to remove the garlic as you pour into containers (note: you should only infuse what you’d be using over a few days period since I understand the garlic can turn toxic over a longer period of time). Definitely adds a Smokey garlic flavor and taste incredible (excellent over steamed or roasted shrimp, scallops or crab)!
