How is ghee made?
Fresh milk from healthy country cows is collected and boiled at a moderate temperature and cooled. A few drops of curd is added to this milk and left at room temperature overnight.
The milk turns into curd the next day morning. The curd is then transferred to another container and whipped in a wooden hand masher. This method creates butter and buttermilk. Butter is carefully taken out of the vessel and cleaned with cold water.
The butter is transferred into another vessel and heated till it melts and turns out to be brownish liquid called ghee.
