Cream Collection From Boiled Milk
The milk is boiled, cooled overnight, and thick cream is collected in the morning. Then it's stored in the refrigerator.
Preparing Cream for Culturing
Bring the cream to room temperature and inoculate it with some curd. Allow it to remain undisturbed for 4 to 5 hours.
Churn the Cultured Cream
In intervals, blend the cultured cream with water until the yellow butter floats free at the top.
Collect and Wash the Butter
Scrap the butter from the vessel and wash it very well two or three times with clean water. So that the curd residue and remaining whey are removed.
Use Butter and Save Buttermilk
Cook or fry parathas with it. The leftover liquid is nutritious buttermilk, suitable for drinking and recipes.
