Ingredients

Method

  1. In a saucepan, heat the ghee over low to medium heat until it melts completely.
  2. 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.
  3. Continue cooking the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reaches a creamy consistency. This typically takes about 10–15 minutes.
  4. Add a pinch of salt and stir to enhance the flavor.
  5. For a smoother texture, you can use a whisk to further blend the eshabwe until it becomes velvety and uniform.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let cool slightly before serving.
