Ingredients

Serves : 50
  • 4 cups milk cream or malai


  • 6 cups milk

Directions

  • Boil milk and allow it cool down
  • The cream/malai will be floating on the top
  • Filter it and keep it in a stainless steel container(with lid)
  • Keep it in refrigerator
  • Collect this for at least 10 days to get good amount of ghee in the last step
  • You can collect the cream in the same container
  • So, choose appropriate size
  • After 10 or 15 days you will get good amount of malai for ghee
  • Now just transfer the cream into the mixer jar
  • Process it for a minute
  • You will get smooth cream
  • Heat a heavy bottomed vessel like iron kadai
  • Transfer the cream and heat it in low-medium flame
  • Cream will start melting
  • Bubbles will form soon and you can hear bubbling sound
  • You can see it becomes frothy
  • After few minutes, you can see clear ghee on top and milk solids in the bottom
  • There will be little foam also
  • The ghee will become slightly golden brown in color and the milk solids will stick to the pan and looks brownish
  • Now switch off the flame
  • Now Homemade Ghee is ready
  • Filter it and collect in a container in which you want to store the ghee
  • I recommend using stainless steel filter to filter the ghee
  • Tips-1
  • While making ghee, stir only if the ghee starts burning
  • Do not keep stirring unnecessarily
  • Fresh ghee might have slight smell of milk solids(like milk powder)
  • After a week, it goes off completely
  • Boil milk and keep it in fridge overnight to get thick cream collected on the top of milk
  • Filter the cream before you add to the container
  • Do not add milk in the container
  • You can use the cream given in step 3 for decorating desserts cakes etc
  • You can use the leftover milk solid in step 6 to make sweet parathas
  • Simply add sugar to the milk solids and mix it well
  • Use this stuffing to make yummy sweet paratha
