HOME MADE BUTTER

Hi,
HOME MADE BUTTER! Whatever brand butter you use, nothing can beat the taste and flavor of home made butter. Fresh, soft and slight tangy butter tastes divine.
Even from our packet milk we can make butter but may be the quantity differ according to fat level in milk.
I make butter from Nandhni milk, I will store the malai from milk and curd in refrigerator and for every 10 days I will make butter.
You can make ghee from this butter too ( recipe link here).

Healthy, hygienic home made butter recipe is below,

INGREDIENTS :
Malai – 3 cups.
Water- 6 cups.
Beater or Mixer.

METHOD :
  1. You can collect malai from milk or curd or combination of both.
  2. Boil milk and keep it open till it comes down to room temperature.
  3. When cooled down, you can see the malai or aadai floats as layer.
  4. Gently remove the malai and store in a bowl.
  5. Add 1 tsp curd to malai bowl and mix once.
  6. Close and store in refrigerator.
  7. Same way separate the malai and store in the refrigerated bowl until bowl fills (no need to add curd everytime, once added is enough)
  8. You can also take malai from curd too, In fresh fermented curd you can see thick yellow coloured malai floats on top.
  9. Gently remove the malai using spoon and store in refrigerated bowl.
  10. When bowl is filled, remove the bowl from refrigerator.
  11. Add 3 cups of water in big bowl, add 1 cup of malai and beat in high speed for 5-8 mins or till butter separates from water.
  12. When yellow soft stiff foam floats on the top, remove the butter alone using your hands.
  13. And drop the butter in a bowl of clear water, this will remove excess curd from butter.
  14. Repeat the process twice to extract complete butter from malai, when you ensure there is no butter forms from malai, discard the malai water.
  15. Same way beat entire malai and extract butter and add it in water.
  16. Finally remove clear butter from water, store in bowl and refrigerate.
  17. You can make ghee out of this butter or serve with hot roti or with bread.
    HAPPY COOKING!!

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton. The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible. Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
