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.

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.
