What is the name of the liquid butter made from cow or buffalo milk which is used in Eastern Countries?!


Question: Ghee. You can make it yourself by heating butter and pouring off the liquid and leave the solids behind the same way as when you clarify butter in the West.

In my local Asian market you can buy it in jars but I find it very expensive. $10.00 for one jar the same size as you can clarify yourself for under $5.00.

The reason for the clarifying is you can then cook with the butter at much higher temperatures when the solids have been removed.

  • It is called ghee in India, the liquid butter remaining when butter from cow's milk or buffalo milk is melted, boiled, and strained

    Clarified butter here most of the time.
