Bengali Ghee

Bengali Ghee

While the whole world consumed ghee that looks yellow and calls it golden liquid, Bengali ghee is a tad bit different. I am calling this Instant Bengali Ghee only because I used store bought butter to make the ghee.

Ingredients
 

  • 4 Butter Sticks

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy bottom deep sauce pan, add the butter sticks.
  • Cook the butter at medium heat by stirring frequently.
  • Let the melted butter simmer for 10 minutes. At first, you will see big bubbles, and then it will turn into foam like texture. Keep stirring in between.
  • Slowly it will settle down, and you will notice black residue at the bottom of the pan.
  • Once it's cooled down a little, strain to a clean airtight jar. The liquid will look black and as it sets to room temperature, the color will change to light brown.
