How to make ghee (Indian clarified butter) from butter
Servings: 60
Calories: 54kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups butter
Instructions
- Melt 2 cups (4 sticks) of butter in a heavy-bottomed pot. You can use more or less butter depending on how much ghee you want to make. Stir to prevent burning.
- When the butter has melted, lower the heat to just the point of a steady rolling boil. Simmer until the milk solids have dropped to the bottom and are a nutty brown color. The water should also be completely boiled off. It should take about 20-30 minutes.
- Allow to cool and settle for at least a few minutes. Pour into a jar, leaving the milk solids behind. It is easiest to do this by catching any milk solids with a sieve.

Notes
Expect a yield of about 80% of the amount of butter your start with. 5 cups of butter will yield about 4 cups of ghee.
