How to Make Desi Ghee from Butter

Heat and fully melt unsalted butter over low heat in a heavy-bottomed handi without letting it brown. Now increase the heat and bring the butter to a boil. When the butter starts foaming, stir once and reduce to very low heat. Simmer gently for about 45 minutes until the milk solids settle on the bottom of the pan and the transparent butter is afloat.

Drain the transparent butter, i.e. desi ghee, through muslin into another container without disturbing the sediment. Once cold, it will solidify. Store at room temperature.
