How to Prepare

Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on medium flame.
Add 2 kg of groundnut oil to the pan and let it warm up for 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add 500 g of unsalted butter or ghee to the warm oil.
Stir continuously with a wooden spoon to ensure the butter melts evenly and mixes with the oil.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes until a nutty aroma develops.
Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any impurities.
Pour the strained groundnut oil ghee into an airtight container for storage.
