Ghee / clarified butter, is now available at many health food stores, but you can also make it yourself. Just follow these simple directions:

Place the desired amount of either salted or unsalted butter (I prefer unsalted butter) in a medium-sized pan.

On medium heat, melt the butter until it is completely liquid. Continue cooking until the butter starts to foam and boil; you will begin to hear the butter crackling at this point.

Reduce heat to low and continue cooking until the butter clarifies. You will know it is clarified when you part the foam on top and the butter is clear enough that you can easily see the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking until the crackling subsides. Make sure not to overcook the ghee or it will burn.

Let the ghee cool for about 30 minutes, and then strain it using cheesecloth.
Ghee can be stored in a glass jar.
