100Th Post: Ghee ( Clarified Butter)
This is my hundredth post! I genuinely cannot believe that I get got completed 100 posts on my blog!!! That also inward less than nine months! To many bloggers out there, this may non live a big deal... But for me, it is! I never thought I would come upward this far! Like I get got said before, blogging is difficult work. Hats off to all the wonderful nutrient bloggers out at that topographic point who get got the fourth dimension to get got pictures of their nutrient too write virtually it. For me, every bit a working mom, it has been actually difficult to get got the fourth dimension to produce my posts. I get got had to remain upward tardily afterwards the kids get got been cajoled into bed, wake upward during the wee hours of the morn only to consummate a postal service or to postal service something on time. The proficient business office of it is the appreciation I get got received from identify unit of measurement too friends, recognition past times many unlike organizations, making novel friends amongst the wonderful people from the blogging reason too lastly but non the to the lowest degree the immense amount of learning that occurs on a daily basis, inward to a greater extent than ways than one!
I get got given much thought to what I would write virtually for my hundredth post. I finally decided to acquire amongst something that is business office of basic cooking skills: ghee or clarified butter. This is such an integral business office of Indian cooking. Ghee that is sold at premium rates inward stores similar Trader's Joe, Whole Food etc. Did you lot know that ghee tin live easily made at home?? All you lot ask is butter! As elementary every bit that. For fourth dimension immemorial, ghee has been made at abode inward Indian households. I shout out upward my woman bring upward collecting cream from boiled too cooled milk, storing it inward the fridge, churning it too making butter too thence converting that butter into ghee.
Let me part this elementary method of making this liquid golden at abode that is totally natural without whatever added preservatives or chemicals inward it.
Servings: yields approzimately 700 ml of ghee.
Ingredient:
Unsalted Butter( sugariness cream butter): three lbs
Method:
Take the butter inward a thick-bottomed pot.

Heat it on medium rut until it is completely melted.
Once it melts, bring down the open fire to the lowest possible too allow it boil.
The liquid similar a shot is golden amongst a slightly nighttime residual at the bottom. Stop boiling at this point. Switch off the flame.
Boiling whatever farther volition forcefulness out the milk solids that has separated too settled at the bottom .This volition plough the color of the ghee brownish instead of golden.
Once the ghee has settled down/ cooled downwards a little, strain too pour it inward a airtight container of your selection to live stored, ideally a drinking glass jounce of some kind.
The nighttime residual volition live left behind.
Can live stored at room temperature. Remains fresh for a month.I am bringing this to all my wonderful friends at Angie's Fiesta Friday. This week's co-hosts are Andrea@cooking amongst a wallflower too Sylvia@superfoodista.I await frontwards to these parties ...it is thence much fun.If you lot haven't withal been at that topographic point you lot should elbow grease it!
Cooking made easy:
Many people propose the add-on of clove, cinnamon stick, beetle-nut leafage during the lastly phase of ghee grooming to arrive to a greater extent than aromatic. I sometimes add together it. It is non a must. My woman bring upward sprinkles a lilliputian buttermilk when the bubbling has stopped too it has turned golden. This also is supposed to brand the ghee real aromatic.
Tip for salubrious living:
For fourth dimension immemorial, ghee has been move inward everyday Indian cooking. However over the years, people get got shied away from ghee believing it to live fattening too rich inward cholesterol thereby leading to heart-issues. Today how hither butter is beingness promoted, ghee also is beingness promoted. Like anything else, anything when consumed inward moderation does non elbow grease sick effects on the trunk . Too much of anything is bad for the body. My kids are vegetarian an picky eaters. Hence I brand certain I move ample amount of ghee inward their food.
