Home-made Ghee

This was sitting in my draft for a long time and today I finally decided to post it. Butter shortage in Sweden few days back made me do this tedious yet satisfying job. I make ghee by using unsalted butter like most of us living outside India do. Some time back I had over- whipped the cream that I was suppose to use for cake and it almost tasted buttery. So When I had this emergency for Ghee; I thought let me try making butter from the whipping cream ..and then Ghee from the butter. lets get straight to the recipe:-


You will need:- 
1. Whipping Cream (atleast 30-40%) - Qty. can very as per your requirement. Around 11/2 cup Cream will give you approx. 1 cup butter ( little more or less as per fat percentage) and then ghee.
2. and Blender


1. Bring the Cream down to room temperature.
2. Pour the Cream in a tall container so that when you beat it, it wont come out and spoil your clothes. 

3. Using a blender, beat the cream till butter and liquid separates. It does take quite a bit of time, So please have little patience. It takes about 15-20 mins.


4. When the butter starts separating, the butter particles and water will start splattering  all over ; that is when you can be sure that your butter is done.


5. The butter will accumulate together, so with the help of a spoon take it out from the water and spread it on the plate.


6. Using a fork or back of spoon flatten it out; so that the excess water will come out. Drain that out. Your Butter is ready.
7. Now for Ghee add butter in to deep and heavy bottom pan. Put it on medium heat.


8. After some time foam will appear on butter and milk solids will start to settle down.
9. Continue cooking till all milk solids settle down and white foam appears over butter.
10. Remove and Wait till ghee cools down.
11. Strain using tea stainer and store in to any Glass Jar.
Your Home-made Ghee from Home-made Butter is ready now.
