One big bowl of butter. I will tell you how to get butter.

    •  After boiling the milk let it cools down. Put the milk in the refrigerator. After 3 to 4 hours take it out. A thick layer of malai/cream will appear at the upper surface of milk. Take out that with the help of a big spoon. Do this regularly until one big bowl is full with that and put that bowl in the refrigerator  daily after storing the malai. After a week or two, add half spoon of curd to the malai. It will help keeping it fresh for a longer period of time.
    • If enough malai is not stored in 15 to 20 days, just place the malai bowl in the freezer just to maintain its quality.
    • Take the malai out from the freezer one day before you want to make ghee.
    • Beat it using beater for 1 minute.
    • Take a thick pan or kadhai, put it in high flame. Add all the malai to the pan and mix it well.
    • Now stir the butter in interval of half to one minute. You will see the changes as shown in the pictures.
    • I prepare it while preparing chapati so that, two of my work go simultaneously ghee doesn’t require much attention.
    • When malai starts becoming brown and bubbles starts to form. This time you need to lower the flame other wise it will come out.

    • Switch off the flame when the color seems light brown.
    • Leave it for a few hours for cooling. Now strain the ghee with the help of kitchen net.
    • Wait wait, don’t throw the leftover. Some ghee is still left in it.
    • Dip the brown left over(khoi) in one glass of water. Massage the khoi properly with the help of spoon or hand.
    • Now separate the water and the khoi with the help of kitchen net.
    • Now put the water in the freezer. On the other day, when you take out the water a thick layer  of ghee can be seen in the upper surface.
    • Separate the ghee from water this ghee can be used in fulka or can be added in khichadi or milk.

You can put ghee in this smart glass jar for regular use.

  • The left over water can be used to make dough by adding some azwain and salt to the dough.
  • So all the things are used properly with no wastage.

Note:

  • For preparing ghee, i always prefer cow milk.
  • The ghee can be stored at room temperature in a tightly covered jar for up to six months. At room temperature, ghee is mainly solid(in winters) and opaque.
