Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 lb Unsalted butter
1/4 c Chopped onions
2 Cloves garlic, pressed
2 ts Fresh gingerroot, grated
1/2 ts Turmeric
4 Cardamom seeds, crushed
1 Cinnamon stick
2 Cloves
1/8 ts Nutmeg
1/4 ts Ground fenugreek seeds
1 tb Fresh basil
- or 1 teaspoon dried basil

In a small saucepan, gradually melt the butter and bring it to
bubbling. When the top is covered with foam, add the other
ingredients and reduce the heat to a simmer. Gently simmer,
uncovered, on low heat. After about 45 to 60 minutes, when the
surface becomes transparent and the milk solids are on the bottom,
pour the liquid through a cheesecloth into a heat resistant
container. Discard the spices and solids.

Covered tightly and stored in the refrigerator, Niter Kebbeh will
keep for up to 2 months.
