      If you use salted butter, almost all of the salt precipitates into the solids. Of course this is clarified butter not Ghee.
      Real Ghee as Vedic medicine is made from heating whole milk to which rennet is added. There is a bacterial transformation which turns your milk into real Ghee. Looks, and tastes like butter, but it becomes Ghee.

      ​@@mssavedin92 Hi, not quite. You are better off making clarified butter with unsalted butter made with butter from grass fed cows. It is healthier for you. But clarified butter is not Ghee. It's often confusing for most people as clarified butter is often marketed as ghee in Indian Stores, or western markets.
      Real Ghee is made from whole milk, which during the cooking time which takes hours its treated with rennet, which is used in cheese making. Rennet is a bacterial culture along with other things that comes from a cows stomach which is used on the milk solids to make cheese. The Vedic system uses the same rennet as a culture to transform the liquids into Buttermilk, and clarified butter which is transformed by the bacteria, after that transformation it becomes real Ghee which has many medical benefits, and great health giving properties. That is what is known as real Ghee.
      In a way it has similiar but more benefits then eating fermented vegetables; except "Ghee" has superior benefits in every way. It also lasts almost virtually forever.
      Please know that is how real is made, and here is what to search for on UA-cam to find how to really make Ghee! Search for what is in quotes below. I hope that helps on your journey towards better health.

    You are entirely right, he is making clarified butter. He talks about the Vedic system but it's nonsense.
    True Ghee is made from unpasteurized whole milk from grass fed cows. During heating rennet from cows is added. That causes a bacterial transformation. That is the Vedic Ghee.
    Sadly the "Ghee" often sold in ethnic stores as Ghee is merely clarified butter. Many Indian families use this clarified butter believing it is Ghee when it is not. Clarified butter has no medicinal properties, however it is tasty, and good for you. And that is the brief explanation of this confusion.

    hello, I use another way to do it,may I have your opinion? I put the butter in a steel pot and put them in the owen, 100 celsius degrees. I wait 'till it is melted then I wait another 30 minutes.
    When I Take the pot out , I can see clearly 3 distinct layer. the sugar part (lactose) crystallized on the surface. The milky part in the very bottom. And the yellowish fat part in the middle.
    With a spoon I remove the lactose layer. Then I filter ,leaking it through a cotton patch directly into empty glass jar. Paying attention to don't leak the milky part.
    In the pot remain tha milky part with a little layer of ghee on the surface. I put the pot in the fridge and wait 'till it is solidified. Now I can easily remove the ghee from the milk.
    what's your opinion?

Take it out. Collect it and later stir it either with hands using spoon or use mixture. It will take around 20 minutes. The final product will have a butter and butter milk.

      The complicated part is making yoghurt. You are apparently supposed to churn yoghurt in order to make the butter for ghee, rather than milk. He doesn't show that part in this video.
      Also, because devout Hindus are more particular about how they produce organic whole milk than what we are able to buy in supermarkets, the butter he is using probably has a much lower proportion of water, and a higher proportion of milk fat right from the start. The accepted milk fat minimum for Australian supermarket cream is 35%, and they adulterate it with gelatin.

    I guess...because our ancestors did not appreciate old food..
    They did not feel the need for anything called as refridgrator...so they did not bother.

      Not quite, but while they definitely had so much less to eat back then,
      they still had to store enough for the winters, using all kinds of preservation techniques on their food.
      I've heard about it being more common to burrow food too, given that it's pretty cold underneath the soil.
