Tip: Ghee - Now in minutes

Making clarified butter (ghee) at home, consumes a lot of time. It takes 1½-2 hours. Maybe this is why, people now have started to abort the idea of making ghee at home.
But what will be your reaction if I say you can make Ghee in just some minutes!!
Yes, you read it right! In today's tip, I'll tell you how to make Ghee in just 15-20 minutes, with the help of a tbsp of wheat flour. So, let a new dialogue prevail in market now, "एक चम्मच आँटे की कीमत तुम क्या जानो..."


Ghee - Now in minutes


  1. Bring the cream(malai) to room temperature.
  2. In a wok, heat cream at high flame, till it melts and seems like milk.
  3. Turn the flame to medium.
  4. Now add a tbsp of wheat flour to the malai.
  5. Mix the mixture so well, that the flour appears to dissolve into malai.
  6. Keep stirring the mixture after every 2 minutes.
  7. You will observe that the clarified butter (ghee) starts to appear.
  8. Continue stirring, till the reddish-brown khoya starts to appear.
  9. When all the Ghee would have separated from its residual, i.e. khoya, strain the ghee.
  10. The khoya can be used to make sweets like Mawa Gujiya posted earlier or the one I will be posting shortly.

Note:

  • If you want to use the khoya for any preparation, it is advisable to always store malai in freezer.
  • Also, try to make Ghee within 10-12 days of storing.
  • Using wheat flour prevents splattering, that may cause burns.
