Easy Ghee Recipe | Instant Pot Ghee | 1 Ingredient Ghee Recipe

Ghee is a class of clarified butter that originated in ancient India. It is commonly used in cuisine of the Indian subcontinent, Middle Eastern cuisine, South Asian cuisine, traditional medicine, and religious rituals. 

Ghee is typically prepared by simmering butter, which is churned from cream, skimming any impurities from the surface, then pouring and retaining the clear liquid fat while discarding the solid residue that has settled to the bottom. 

Spices can be added for flavor. The texture, color, and taste of ghee depend on the quality of the butter, the milk source used in the process, and the duration of boiling time.

INGREDIENTS

500 gms butter

1 tsp fenugreek seeds or

Few curry leaves or

3 tbsp moringa leaves

METHOD

I am going to use my instant pot to make the ghee today but you can easily use a heavy bottom pan or even a kadai will work.

Switch on the heat to the pan or switch on the saute mode on instant pot.

Once the pan is hot add in the butter to the pan and let it melt and cook in a medium heat.

DO NOT stir or mix the butter while cooking as this will disturb the process of the milk solids getting settled to the bottom and the ghee will have brown particles in it even after straining. 

Let the butter melt and cook, in the process it will lather up a bit on the top and the melted butter will look cloudy yellow color.

You will be tempted to give it a stir but trust the process and do not.

In my instant pot it takes 6 to 8 minutes depending on the amount of butter i add. If your using a stovetop pan then it will take around 10-12 minutes.

Once you see clear yellow liquid and the white lather cleared up you can switch off the heat and add the flavouring which you wish to use.

The ghee has an awesome aroma to its own but the addition will enhance the flavour.

Strain the clear liquid into a container using a fine mesh strainer and let it cool completely.

The ghee will become grainy and solidifies on cooling.

Use this ghee in your daily cooking and enjoy!!!
