Making desi ghee at home is simple, cost-effective, and ensures purity. Traditionally prepared using methods described in Ayurveda, homemade ghee has a richer aroma and better nutritional value than many store-bought versions.
Here’s a clear step-by-step guide.
Method 1: Making Ghee from Butter (Quick Method)
What You Need:
500g unsalted butter (preferably from cow’s milk)
Heavy-bottomed pan
Spoon
Strainer or muslin cloth
Glass jar for storage
Step 1: Heat the Butter
Place the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan and melt it on low to medium heat.
Step 2: Let It Simmer
Once melted, the butter will begin to bubble. This is the water content evaporating. Let it simmer gently — do not stir too much.
Step 3: Watch the Milk Solids Separate
After a few minutes:
Foam will form on top
Milk solids will settle at the bottom
