Chitra this is a wonderful video and you clarified the differences of both types of ghee really well in details. They both look really good. I make my ghee from butter but use the first method (as I don’t make butter from raw milk at home). Thank you for sharing
You can leave the foam as it is, and at a later stage these solids solidify and sink to the bottom of the pan. This is what gives the ghee the nutty flavor. Some people remove the foam, its a matter of preference. But the traditional method is to leave the foam to settle down to give the nutty flavor. The foam are the milk solids, when the milk solids are separating it starts foaming.
Actually, it is was not meant to be like that. Sorry for the confusion, I was just comparing the different methods of making ghee and since I had not enough homemade butter I used the shop bought one. I usually do not remove the solids, but I do know that some people do it. The end result is the same. I find that leaving the foam undisturbed is easy and not time consuming but do it on low heat or the ghee can burn.
@@VitalFairLiving Thanks for your reply. I make it both ways like you did& its still same. By the way,when I do skim off alot of the solids I don't waste it,use it in cooking sweet treats,not the burnt bits@bottom of pot,the skimmed solids
@@avaleonardava6139 Previously I used it for stir frying vegetables and sometimes used for cookies. It has a nutty flavour for sweets. That was before we figured out that my daughter was lactose intolerant. Nowadays I just compost it. Ghee works for her since we remove out the milk solids.
Because, they cannot sell you stuff without adding all the chemicals in it probably. No profit for the corporations if we eat healthy. You can get raw milk from Amish communities from what I know.
thanks Chitra! exactly what I was looking for. Very well explained and demonstrated.
You are welcome. I tried my best.

Thanks for your input Shobana. Glad it clarified the difference.
Thanks for a nice and informative video.
You are welcome. Enjoy making ghee at home with this knowledge.
You are welcome.
Nice information. Thanks Mem.
You are welcome.
And what's the use of the foam? Is it discarded?

Why separate the foam/milk solids from shop bought butter& not the raw milk one

Raw cow's milk is against the law in America...
