How To Make Ghee At Home

Making ghee at home really very simple, I usually collect milk fat in a bowl every day from 1-liter full-fat milk, for 25 to 30 days. Place it in the refrigerator to the fridge. I used this method because in solid form cream maintains its freshness and we don’t want any musty smell in our cream. It is better to fridge it because we want to use buttermilk too. Or if you collect this at room temperature then after 15 days use the cream for making ghee. and with that buttermilk, we don’t reuse that, so just threw that. You can use full cream ( whipping cream) instead of collecting milk fat every day. Or you can use unsalted butter for this. Take a pan and place the butter on low flame, occasionally stir them and when butter changes its color into brown color and milk solids settle down on the bottom then turn off the flame and in clean jar strain ghee, close the lead.
