Hi Fridge,
Ghee is very easy to make.
METHOD OF PREPARING GHEE
Buy 2 pounds/1 kg of cooking butter (without salt).
Take a 2 litre vessel and heat the butter on a medium flame.Keep a constant watch and gop on stirring the melted butter which would start boiling after some time.
After about 30 minutes to 45 minutes, the bubbles of the boiling butter would suddenly become minute and there will be a surge of foam towards over flowing.
This is the signal that your Ghee is ready .But take care that the ghee does not over flow and does not get burnt.
You would find some scum of brownish colour from the middle of the process which would ultimately settle down.Take a filter and filter off the scum after ghee is cold.
Some people in India add Betel leaves at the end of process to refine the ghee.I, however have never tried it except once .
Out of 1 kg of butter , the yield of Ghee would be aroung 650 gms.

Thank you Hemant
I will try this one.
Could you assist with suitable oils to use for dishes.
I use a mostly olive oil but is this the most suitable for curries.
Thank you

Hello Fridge,
I think u are in Zambia, and I think you can get sunflower oil there.
However best oil for curries is Groungnut oil.If you get that , that is best.Olive oil does not do justice to Indian curries.

My mom used to put drumstick(murungai)leaves and little bit buttermilk for extra flavour.

if you make ghee from unsalted butter its gonna taste yuck!
the best way is to go buy aarey ghee cause it doesnt smell/taste bad
