  • Now, stir the curd and malai very well and keep it aside for the next 7-8 hours.
  • After keeping it for 7-8 hrs now, take a mixer jar.
  • Pour the malai into the jar  (can use a hand whisker to whisk the mixture, instead of the blender)
  • Then add half a glass of water to it.
  • Close the lid and turn on the mixer grinder.
  • Slowly, the Makhan will start coming up in the jar
  • Continuously stir the mixture and stop after every few minutes
  • and add some more water to it. Remember that water temperature should be warm in the winters and room temperature in the summers.
  • Now stop the mixer and see the Makhan floats onto the water in the jar
  • Now, take a bowl and transfer the Makhan into it.
  • Here, you see some water in the Makhan and also the mixture is loose due to that.
  • Now, with the help of a spoon remove all the excess water from it, by pressing it from the sides.
  • After all the liquid is removed. Take a bowl and transfer Makhan to the bowl.
  • If the consistency is loose then add some cold water and squeeze the water from it

Notes

You cannot store this Makhan for more days. You can store 5-6 days in the winter and 3-4 days in the summer.
Heat the makhan on the gas stove for a few minutes and make desi ghee from it. Remove the ghee from it and leave the extra sticky part.
