Ghee or Clarified butter

Ghee is the butterfat  from which milk solids have been removed.This way you can have unadulterated ghee ....good for chidren

Butter- 1lb(sticks-4)

To make ghee:
In a heavy bottomed saucepan add unsalted sweet butter and simmer.
Foam (stage-1)will be formed but this will eventually subside.
Stir occasionally until milk solids turn golden and settle at the bottom of the pan.(Stage-2)
This would take about 20 -25 minutes.(stage-3)
Sieve this and store it in a jar.



Note :
Do not throw away the milk solids.Mix it with wheat flour to make paranthas.
Add  any herbs/spices( curry leaves,mint,bay leaves,cloves, jeera etc) it just prior to melting the butter to make it a flavored ghee
