Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Butter
  • 2 sprigs Curry leaves or Moringa Leaves (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Place a large pot on the stove and add the butter to it. You add the curry leaves now or the Optionally at the end before switching off the stove.
  • Switch on the heat and let the butter melt on medium heat.
  • Once it is melted reduce the heat to low medium or low and keep cooking. There will be a lot of foaming and froth half way through the process as the milk solids start separating.
  • Once the milk solids start turning light brown, Switch off the stove. And move the pot away from heat. The ghee will start turning further brown if left on the heat of the stove. 
  • Once the ghee is warm or at room temperature, use a sieve and filter out the milk solids.
  • Transfer the ghee to a metal or glass container. If using glass make sure the ghee is warm. Hot ghee would crack the glass.
  • Enjoy the freshly made ghee in all your dishes as a replacement for oil.
