hi Anuja & Hetal,
Can we make ghee from yogurt. (not from cream)
i tried making this seeing on youtube some other channel “How to make Probiotic Ghee from Yogurt ” but i failed to do so and got wasted. I tried in food processor for 15-20-30 mins.kept it in the freezer again tried it but it was not converting to cream. Have you ever tried it? Though i have thrown that but still curious if its possible. your expert cooking advice on this please would appreciate. thanks

I was wondering about the trick to remove the foam on the ghee. Water makes the foam disappear but the foam gets reabsorbed in the clarified butter.

Professional cooks tell u to remove that because the foam is high on cholesterol.

So to me it seems that yuor ghee is high on cholesterol while ghee is famous for not having cholesterol.

Hi Sareeta,

Some times, all of the solids just refuse to settle at the bottom so we use the water trick, but sieving works as well.

Hello

I made this yesterday, however i am beginning to wonder whether i took it off the stove to soon

I took it off the stove when the butter had become a light golden colour and i could clearly see the bottom of the pan

The milk solids were still floating on the top and were white, and i seived them out

Does this mean my ghee is uncooked? should i start again?

Thank you

Hi Jeena,

I made ghee with 2 lbs of butter today, so thought I can answer your questions:

1. It took me about an hour (phew!) from the time the butter melted to make ghee. I kept stirring it throughout on medium-low heat.

2. I used a little over 1 tbsp of water to remove the foam. Start with 1 tbsp & see if you would need more. Its quite simple.

Hope that helped…
