Ghee - the gold of Ayurvedic cuisine
Ghee is highly valued in Ayurveda.
In the Panchakarma treatment, medicinal ghee cooked with herbs is an important part of the detoxification process. The use of oils and fats depends very much on your individual constitution.
Ghee is very easy to make yourself and I can no longer imagine my kitchen without it. Clarifying butter to preserve it used to be a completely normal process, especially in the country where I grew up. Ghee is nothing other than clarified butter. It gives your dishes a special flavour and is a very high-quality and nourishing fat due to its naturalness.
What do I need to make ghee
Only a little is needed to make ghee yourself.
You need:
- Organic sweet cream butter
- a fine sieve
- Kitchen paper
- a pot with a thick base
- a container to collect the finished ghee
250 g butter takes approx. 20 minutes until the ghee is ready.
