Himalayan Natives The Process Of Making A2 Gir Cow Bilona Ghee
About Gir Cows The Gir cattle is a famous dairy cattle, and is one of the principal Zebu or Bos Indicus breeds in India. The Gir hills along with the forests of Katihar are the primary regions of habitation. In Gujarat, the districts of Amreli, Bhavnagar, Junagadh and Rajkot are the most known regions.
About A2 Gir Cow Bilona Ghee The Himalayan Natives A2 Gir cow ghee is also produced through the conventional method of using yogurt, i.e the Bilona Method. To start with, milk is boiled in earthen pots and is then set overnight to produce curd. The curd is then churned with a wooden churner, post which the resultant cream is heated. After the curd is churned, the water is evaporated to let the fat get separated from the milk solids. At the end of it all, we get around a kilo of ghee by using around thirty kilograms of curd.
The Steps in Bilona Method After the A2 milk is obtained from the Gir Cow and is set overnight to curdle, here are the remaining steps that are specifically followed for a fully traditional Bilona experience. • The milk is churned in two motions — Clockwise and Anti-Clockwise. This is the correct way of churning and thus can be a lengthy process. The curd then gets separated into Butter and Butter Milk which is known as Loni / Makkhan.Tip – Add chilled water while churning.
The Steps in Bilona Method 2. Once the churning process is over, the resultant loni/makkhan is then used to make ghee. The leftover Buttermilk becomes a cool drink which can be consumed plain or by adding salt and cumin powder to the Buttermilk.
The Steps in Bilona Method 3. The Makkhan/Loni is then put in a stainless steel pot and heated medium-high till such time the butter comes to a boil. It is then left to gently boil on a relatively lower flame. Now is when any remaining water gets evaporated away and the butter starts becoming clear with a visible layer of solids at the bottom of the pot the ghee. You will know that the process is complete once you get a peculiar and uniquely rich smell. Finally, the Golden liquid ghee is drained through a strainer and stored in jars for later use.
The Speciality Ghee Desi Ghee, prepared by bilona churning method, is costlier than the ghee prepared through commercial methods where ghee is made using machines. In the bilona method, we make ghee by hand churning a large amount of curd, which makes the price of Bilona Ghee slightly expensive compared to the other available ghee variants. Since Bilona ghee is made entirely using traditional methods, it is given a higher status of authenticity. Bilona Ghee stands out and is seen as a specialty ghee variant which has the essence of the Ayurvedic age.
