I had been wanting to make flavored butter for a very long time, but just couldn’t find time. Finally today was the day for butter, after Sam of Cooking Medley announced JFI: Ghee & Butter. I am not very sure if Sam would consider my entry, but nevertheless, I am giving it a try. π
I chose this particular recipe because it talks of butter and butter alone. I made four types of flavored butter and they worked wonders on my toast.
The basic method is the same for all the butters. Soften butter to room temperature. Add the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate for an hour, for the flavors to blend. When making a good amount of flavored butter, you can wrap it in waxed paper and refrigerate it.
Spicy Butter:
Unsalted Butter – 2 Tbsp
Ground Black Pepper – 1/4 Tsp
Ground Jeera – 1/8 Tsp
Ground Ajwain – 1/8 Tsp.
Fruit Butter:
Unsalted Butter – 2 Tbsp
Mashed Sapota or Chickoo – 1 Tbsp
Sweet Butter:
Unsalted Butter – 2 Tbsp
Ground Cinnamon – 1/4 Tsp
Sugar – 1/4 Tsp
Olive & Garlic Butter:
Unsalted Butter – 2 Tbsp
Black Olives – 4 (Chopped fine)
Garlic – 2 (Chopped fine)
Basil – 1 leaf ( Chopped fine)
Those butter balls look nice.. very easy to make and kids will like the sweet one i think..Thanks

I love your blog and the photos are fabulous. Indian food is my very favorite. I learned to love it when I lived for 4 years in the Fiji Islands as a child. We would eat curry and roti at the Coconut Frond. Unfortunately, I don’t eat much of it as I no longer eat foods with ghee or any kind of oil. But I will take some of your recipes and experiment without the ghee or oil. Thank you so much for sharing.>Blessings,>Jessie in Florida
