You got your butter in the pot and heated it mildly, so it is nearly boiling. Yay! You good.
Now the eternal game begins. Cooking ghee contains several reactions:
1) BOIL OUT WATER - don't cover the butter so it gets rid of water easily and also you can monitor the progress.
2) FRY THE PROTEIN - before you get rid of it too soon, we'll want to brown it. Maillard reaction will give the butter great smell. But we must NOT BURN IT!
3) PURIFY THE GHEE - after cooked my way, there's no need to using sieve or whatever filter. You'll see😊
Find that right temperature, so the butter moves in the pot, but doesn't bubble much. Or it'll create foam, run out just like milk and burn in the bottom of the pot. Go nice and slow on it. It usually takes me around 90 minutes to cook it, my mum takes 20 (yeah that's not brown at all) and my friends use slow cookers over night. But now you're cooking with me, yay!
quotingGHEE BUTTER 2 - THE BEGINNING
note1rzm…gxt3
So you need to buy butter, duh🧐 Get unsalted normal one, NOT A SPREAD (contains oils to be spready), NOT ANY SUBSTITUTION (ditch all margarine propaganda shit out of your mum's fridge when you're at it.)
BUTTER. 82% fat, higher is better, but not necessary, lower % doesn't matter - if it's still legit butter made from animal milk, it must NOT contain anything shady.
If there's a great sale, buy a ton and store butter in the freezer.
As for amount, get a bit more butter than you want. 82% of it is the stuff we want. Also you'll need a pot at least 50% bigger than the cooked amount, if you overheat it, it lathers and runs up very easily. And trust me, you don't want to wipe hot butter from around the stove.
Unpack your butters and throw them in, warm it enough so they melt, but not too much that it sizzles. Melt first.
