While you may have heard Ghee is fattening, has saturated fats and is not good for your heart or your waist etc. but what you have probably not been told is Ghee helps you recover when you are sick, and that it is considered to be a unique type of saturated fat that helps burn the stubborn fat in the body. Don't believe me, read here what India's top fitness expert has to say about Ghee. She calls Ghee nothing short of a miracle worker and I couldn't agree more. That is why I make it an important part of our daily diet.
Note: I normally use either Kerry Gold or Amish unsalted butter to make Ghee at home.

Making Ghee from Butter
Ingredients
- 1 lb unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a deep saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. The melted butter will start turning frothy pretty quickly.
- Give it a quick stir and continue to cook. Eventually the froth will slowly disappear leaving behind a deep brown liquid.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Milk solids will turn deep brown and will start moving towards the bottom of the pan and you will be left behind with a clear liquid.
- Take it off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes before pouring into a glass jar. Apply the lid only after the ghee has completely cooled down.
- Store it in room temperature for a month or refrigerate it for it to last longer.
