When we made the ghee,it smelled great! It was yellowish orange.You make the best ghee! Our ghee turned out good!

Mullai. Tried this recipe again with 2lb butter and its perfectly fine.Thank youVIJI

Hi Mullai, So Instead of medium heat i should go for low heat right.Even i used Land O lakes Butter. Ok will surely try it this week and let you know.Thanks Mullai.VIJI

Vijitha,
Today tried with a pound of butter and its still the same process and timing. It took about 45 minutes to set, so the key is to make them over low heat. Used a regular thick bottomed stainless steel cookware and used Land o lakes unsalted sweet cream butter. Voila!!! you will be rewarded with wonderful golden ghee. Good luck!

Hi Mullai,
I tried to make ghee today. But i have no idea what went wrong. Within 20 minutes it turned to black colour. I used heavy bottom pan. I tried with 1 lb butter. Can you tell me what went wrong?,,VIJI

Dear Mullai I just tried to prepare ghee, first I melted the butter then I brought it to boil, after that I simmered the heat to low. After 15 mins my butter went black. I used only 1lb unsalted butter (to try the first time) and a frying pan, could this be the reason why it went wrong?

Hi mullai n Kaviarun.....

I made Ghee with unsaltedbutter(land lakes brand) ,it came well like the same i used to take in India prepared by my amma by churning yoghurt.Thank u mullai i followed all ur instuctions and finally i used the tip given by kaviarun i.e.,i added 2 tablespoon of yoghurt mixed with water (to convert thick paste of yoghurt into liquid or butter milk)and 2 pinches of salt immediately after switch off the stove . It gave very good Ghee smell and taste also like amma's ghee.(Indian home made ghee). I will continue this process to make ghee ,both mullai n kaviarun .

Hi,
i agreed with u shan.adding buttermilk or curd with little salt atlast gives good aroma.it removes butter smell.
kavi.

Mullai, I made ghee y'day, it came-out well. Some variations: i added 1/4 tsp of curd atlast (i.e the milk solids settle to the bottom and colour changes to golden & I switched-off at this stage, and i added curd, 4 whole pepper and 2 nos of curry leaves for enhanced flavour (after adding the curd the froth will bubbles-out). Usually in india they will use drumstick leaves, but in USA we won't get it.

Hey Mullai...Thanks for sharing the recipes..They are a real help..
I wanted to know what brand of butter do you use ? I had bought unsalted butter (don't remember the brand)..but ghee did not not come out well..It tasted and smell like butter..Infact it was neither like butter nor ghee after making it..We just couldn't eat it..So I had to throw it away :(

Please help

Hi Mullai;
Tried making ghee,but it turned out as a slight brown colored buttery smelling ghee.

I tried with just 1 stick (4 oz) of butter. everything happened soooo quickly and it turned out brown.Could you please help me on this...

Your recipes are so good and I had tried a few with excellent results.

ThankYou!

Dear Mullai
Now i have become a regular visitor of ur site. Your recipes are really good.
There is another simple way of making ghee if u have a microwave oven
you can collect the " paal aadai" for some days & refrigerate it.
When u have got enough of it, just place it in a microwavable glass ware, and in high power it takes abt, 10 to 15 mts, depending on the amount.
The milk solids form a layer at the top, leaving a clear ghee at the bottom of the vessel.
Mullai, just try this out, and u can specify the amount and the time correctly, i hope.

Bindu

Thanks Mullai
This was so handy when I made ghee fr the first time.
It turned out so well and wow the smell of homemade ghee was just too good.
I dont think i will ever use the cnned ghee now!

I dont like canned ghee. But we get good butter here so tried to make ghee. But, it turned to black :(( I am so depressed :((
