- —3 tbsp ghee (unsalted, pure)
- —1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- —½ tsp grated ginger
- —½ small shallot, finely chopped
- —Pinch of salt
Instructions
🌿 Quick and Easy (5 minutes)
Warm the ghee until softened.
Stir in garlic or a spice blend.
Season with salt and spices.
Serve immediately as a warm dip with vegetables, bread, or potatoes.
🔥 Slow and Flavorful (± 1 hour)
Melt the ghee over low heat in a heavy-bottomed pan.
Add shallot, ginger, and garlic; cook until golden.
Optionally, stir in additional spices like cumin, coriander, or fenugreek.
Let the spices infuse for about 1 hour without bubbling.
Strain the ghee through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar.
Cool and let it solidify before use.
💡 Tips
If the ghee gets too hot or turns brown, lower the heat or use a simmer plate.
Longer infusion results in a nutty, rich flavor.
Delicious as a dip or as a base for sautéing vegetables or meat.
Serving Tip
Serve in a small glass jar or bowl with a spoon. Garnish with a pinch of spices or a slice of garlic on top.
Storage Tip
Pour the cooled ghee into a sealed jar and store for up to 3 weeks at room temperature, or in the fridge for longer shelf life.
