Ghee ~ Sumneh

Ingredients :

• 1kg butter

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

1. Place butter in a large saucepan, melt and bring to boil. Allow to boil for a few minutes watching very carefully. As soon as the froth on the surface starts to disperse, remove immediately from heat and allow to cool. Skim off the remainder of froth.
2. Pour into a glass or earthenware jar, being careful not to pour in the sediment on the bottom.
3. Variation : Half margarine can be substituted for half the amount of butter.
4. Cooks notes : Ghee is clarified butter. It can be purchased commercially or made at home. Ordinary butter, margarine, nut or vegetable oil may be substituted in recipes, but ghee has a distinctive flavor and does not burn easily. Unlike butter or margarine it keeps indefinitely un-refrigerated.
