Butter is very good for health and Actually I started preparing this at home becos of two reasons. The milk when I boiled always a thick layer of cream used to come and Chintu does not like that cream Every time he drinks milk the milk has to be filtered in front of his eye's. Next reason is if with that cream If I prepare curds also it is high in fat content which is not good for us. So always used to feel bad Bcos I was gaining weight so I started preparing butter from it.
Ingriedients:
Cream from milk for more than 2 weeks.
Method:
Everyday collect the cream in a box and add little curds in it and keep it inside the fridge.
After you feel you have enough cream you remove it in the night and keep it outside.
Next day early morning by 6.30 am you just add little cream and more water and put it in the mixie jar with the juicer blade. And after 5 mins you will notice the formation of butter. Keep two separate bowl one for butter and one for buttermilk. Repeat the same procedure until all the cream is done.
First time you will feel it is a bit messy. But once you learn to handle the butter you will really feel very good.
Wash all the vessels and jar with hot water so that it will not be sticky.
Later keep the butter in the fridge. You can use it with bread. If so add little salt to it.
But the buttermilk which you have prepared might be good or it might have bitter taste if the cream collected duration is more than 2 weeks. If it tastes good you can use the buttermilk which is really good for health.
Ghee:
Method:
You have the butter now remove all the water content in it and take a thick bottomed vessel and put all the butter and add little methi seeds , beetel leaf and pinch of salt and turmeric( salt and turmeric is optional) and Keep on the gas stove and heat it until the ghee separates out and once the sputuring sound stops you will come to know the right time to switch of the gas and after that take a steel filter and filter the ghee into a box.
Tips : In Winter you can prepare butter till 8am. But in summer it is better by 6am.
The earlier you do you get good amount of butter. This matches the saying" The Early bird gets the Butter in summer"
