Ingredients
- 1 cup ghee (clarified butter)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 pinch of salt
Method
- In a saucepan, heat the ghee over low to medium heat until it melts completely.
- Gradually add the whole milk to the melted ghee, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula. The milk and ghee should blend together to form a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Continue cooking the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reaches a creamy consistency. This typically takes about 10–15 minutes.
- Add a pinch of salt and stir to enhance the flavor.
- For a smoother texture, you can use a whisk to further blend the eshabwe until it becomes velvety and uniform.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let cool slightly before serving.
