Ghee

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam!

I have been checking out the archives to find out how to make Ghee. I

have found 2 different recipes. One that says to not skim off the

froth on the top, it contains the medicinal properties and is not to

be removed. The other that says separate off the stuff that rises to

the top and leave the stuff that gathers on the bottom. So my question

is, which one is the right way to prepare Ghee?

 

Thank You, Sat Nam.

Sat Nam Cathy,

 

Ever since a child watching mainly my mother, grandmother and various auntie's

in my household it was fun being in the hustle of a kitchen. As per your ghee

question they always 'scooped' off the excess froth at the top of the ghee and

threw it away as it no good. The term Ghee literary means purified/clarified

butter.

 

Blessings,

 

Goldie.

According to the Sushruta Samhita, an Ayurvedic text, ghee is beneficial for the

whole body and the ultimate anti-inflammatory. However, research has not been

done in the West to back up these claims. " As far as I know there is no

physiological research about ghee, " says Jeffrey Migdow, M.D., holistic doctor

at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Lenox, Massachusetts. " Basically it's

just a form of fat in terms of American medical research. From my experience as

a yoga practitioner, yoga teacher, and physician, I've seen that ghee can be

very helpful for balancing the excess heat that comes up in intense sadhana

[spiritual discipline]. According to yogic scriptures, it helps cool the fire

element that gets stimulated. "

Traditionally, ghee has also been used to boost memory and intelligence,

anoint joints, and aid digestion. Long a favorite of yoga practitioners, ghee

lubricates the connective tissues and promotes flexibility, says Dr. Vasant Lad,

director of the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ghee can also be

used topically to soothe blisters, heal wounds, and calm irritated skin.You can

take two teaspoons of ghee per day as a supplement or simply use it in your

cooking.

Ghee can be found at the health food store, but it's also easy to make. Here's

a recipe from Miriam Kasin Hospodar's cookbook Heaven's Banquet: Vegetarian

Cooking for Lifelong Health the Ayurveda Way (Dutton, 1999). Ghee is made by

simmering butter until the water evaporates and the solids separate from the

oil. The solids are then strained out, and the pure, golden oil that remains is

ghee. Two pounds of butter yield approximately 1 1/2 pounds of ghee. Always use

unsalted butter. Slow cooking over very low heat allows the milk sugar to

caramelize and is the secret to spectacular ghee. Because it takes a long time,

it is best to make large amounts. Don't go for any less than one pound of

butter; smaller amounts burn easily. One pound of butter takes under an hour to

prepare. Use the heaviest pot you can find. Placing a heat diffuser on the

burner is also helpful. Do not stir cooking ghee. One Ayurvedic recommendation

that differs from other methods of ghee preparation is

to refrain from skimming off the foam that forms at the top during cooking.

This foam has medicinal properties. Leaving it on requires an extra measure of

alertness when the end of cooking is in sight, to ensure that the solids don't

burn.
