How to Make Ghee at Home Using Malai: A Traditional Kitchen Secret
If you want rich, flavorful ghee, using fresh malai is the best way. This old-school method not only saves money but also gives you pure, aromatic ghee just like the one made in traditional Indian homes.
Step 1: Collect the Malai
Every time you boil milk, let it cool and collect the thick layer of malai from the top. Store it in a container in the fridge and keep adding to it daily until you have enough.
Step 2: Turn Malai into Butter
Once you have a good amount, take the malai out and let it come to room temperature. Add a little cold water and churn it using a mixer or hand blender.
Slowly, the butter will separate from the liquid (buttermilk).
Step 3: Separate the Butter
Collect the butter and rinse it with cold water to remove any leftover buttermilk. This step helps increase the shelf life of your ghee.
