Preparation

Note from Ricardo

Ghee is clarified butter that can be purchased ready for use in Asian grocery stores. It can also be easily prepared at home. Here's how. In a saucepan, melt 454 g (1 lb) of unsalted butter and simmer for 20 minutes, skimming regularly. Pour the remaining butter through a sieve: that’s ghee. It will keep in the fridge for months. Why is it so popular in Indian cuisine? For the great taste of butter, of course, but also because unlike traditional melted butter, it does not burn!
