Traditional Bilona Method

🧈 What is the Bilona Method?

The Bilona method is a traditional, Ayurvedic process of making ghee, followed for centuries in Indian households. It preserves the nutritional, medicinal, and spiritual value of ghee — making it superior to factory-made ghee.

 

🔁 Steps of the Bilona Method:

  1. Boiling Raw Desi Cow Milk 🐄
    Fresh milk from cows is first boiled to remove bacteria and enhance shelf life.

  2. Curdling the Milk into Yogurt (Dahi) 🥣
    The milk is cooled and a spoon of curd is added to naturally ferment it into curd (dahi) overnight.

  3. Churning the Curd (Bilona Process) 🌀
    Using a wooden churner (called bilona), the curd is churned manually in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions to extract makhan (butter) from it.
    This traditional method retains enzymes and good bacteria.

  4. Separating Butter from Buttermilk 🧈
    The butter is collected and the leftover liquid is buttermilk – a healthy by-product.

  5. Slow Heating the Butter to Make Ghee 🔥
    The butter is slow-cooked on low flame in an iron or clay pot until the ghee separates and golden residue settles at the bottom.
