I love to make desi ghee and i learned this recipe from my mother in law. You can easily make it at home with the cream/malai of milk. What i do is that i collect the cream of fresh milk whole month and then i make ghee out of it. I searched the Google and i found that there is no authentic recipe of desi ghee on net. So guys here is the 100% authentic recipe of making desi ghee at home. It has no smell and it tastes so great.

Ingredients Of Desi/Pure Ghee

  • 1 large bowl of milk cream/malai
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 glass of cold water

Method Of Desi/Pure Ghee

  • Place all the cream of milk in a thick base pan. Add yogurt in it and mix it well. Leave it for overnight.
  • In the morning add cold water in it and whisk it with hand beater. Now butter will start coming on surface and white liquid will be separated. Take out the butter. Don’t throw that liquid because its a lassi and you can drink it after adding some salt in it.
  • Now put that butter on low flame. It will take one hour and ghee will start coming out of the butter. Stir it occasionally.
  • The foam curdles and settle at the bottom. Strain the ghee and pour it in some airtight container. You can use it for months on room temperature.

Tip: If you are making this ghee in summers then use cold water and if you are making it in winter then use hot water.

    This butter is different from the one which we buy from market. Its desi butter which we eat with saag and makai ke roti.

    At home we usually collect the cream of a month…but then we keep the cream in the freezer…so I need to defrost the cream and then add yoghurt and keep it over night yea???
    the butter milk which we get the next day is it high in fat content???jazakALLAH

  • http://www.neelscorner.com Neel

    yes the fats must be high in it and i also freeze the cream and then i defrost it.

    Hi…this might be a stupid question but what do collect the malai from?

  • Neel

    collect malai from fresh milk.

  • Rinku

    I’ve made ghee from malai, but have never added or heard of adding yoghurt. I just wanted to clarify that if yoghurt is heated, won’t it cause any tummy trouble?

  • Neel

    you have to add one or two tablespoon yogurt in malai and it will not create any problem

  • saniya

    should we put in referigerator overnight or at room temperature?

  • Neel

    You can use in at room temperature.
