I still remember in my childhood days, when my mom used to prepare the ghee, our whole house was filled with the aroma of home made ghee. I remember how much i used to love this aroma and also the home made ghee.
Now I try to give the same to my daughter. Preparing ghee is a fortnightly affair for me.
Below is a simple step by step preparation of ghee from milk cream.
Collecting the milk cream
1. Collect the milk cream daily in a steel or glass container. Keep it in the fridge.
2. Initially add 1 tablespoon curd. Daily after adding the milk cream, stir it and keep it back in the fridge immediately.
3. Over a period of 2-3 weeks, once good amount of milk cream is collected, ghee can be prepared.
Preparing Ghee
1. Transfer the milk cream in a juicer. Add some water (around 2 cups) and run the juicer for about 2-3 minutes.
2. You will see the butter seperating from the butter milk.
3. If not, add some more water and run the juicer for about 2-3 minutes.
4. Trasfer the butter to a vok, and rinse it with water 2-3 times. This will allow the residual butter milk to be washed away.
5. After seperating the butter, the leftover part is the butter milk. Tranfer the butter milk to a seperate container and enjoy it later.
6. Heat the butter for around 20 minutes.
7. You will see that initailly the butter melts and then turns into ghee. Below are some pics.
7. Transfer the ghee to a steel container.
8. The next day, it will solidify as shown below
Tips:
1. The vok used the prepare the ghee is loaded with ghee. Instead of directly putting it for wash, I usually prepare some curry in that. This way we do not waste any ghee.
