To make ghee from butter, you will need the following ingredients:


  • 1 pound unsalted butter

Here are the steps to make ghee from butter:


  • Cut the butter into small pieces and place them in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.

  • Heat the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it starts to foam.

  • Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking the butter, stirring occasionally, until it turns a golden color and the milk solids have settled to the bottom of the pan.

  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully pour the clear liquid ghee into a heat-proof jar, leaving the milk solids behind.

  • Allow the ghee to cool completely, then cover the jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to a month.


Ghee, also known as clarified butter, is a type of fat that is commonly used in Indian cuisine. It has a rich, nutty flavor and is often used in place of regular butter because it has a higher smoke point, which means it can be heated to a higher temperature without burning. Ghee is also considered to be more easily digestible than regular butter.
