Ghee:
All auspicious things in life starts with ghee

• Preparation: buy one pound (4 sticks) of unsalted butter. Take a heavy bottomed vessel, put the butter sticks in it, and on medium heat melt them. When the butter starts to melt, there will be lot of bubbling and gurgling, don’t panic. Reduce the flame to low; in a few minutes this action will subside, next the butter will begin to develop foam at the top.
  Simmer on low heat, uncovered and undisturbed, for 30 to 45 minutes, until milk solids on the bottom of the vessel turn from white to golden brown and butter on top becomes transparent. This is the signal to turn off the heat.
  What’s happening was milk solids separating into 3 layers, foaming milk solids on top, clarified butter in the middle, protein milk solids on the bottom. Please take caution not to burn the milk solids, it gives off scalded milk smell and you have to throw everything away. Never, ever use high heat to make ghee.
  Let it stand for 10 minutes; remove any crust that rises to the surface with a spoon. Strain, discarding the milk solids at the bottom of the vessel, using a coffee filter or cheesecloth or simply ladle off the ghee into a dry jar. Store this at room temperature. When first made or heated, ghee is clear golden oil. At room temperature it will be in solid form. To use, take necessary amount with a dry spoon and remelt. Never use a wet spoon to take ghee, moisture spoils the ghee.

Paneer : Pure, fresh, soft and quality Paneer is the first choice of tasteful and healthy people. It is prepared from fresh and pasteurized milk and can be used for preparing various Paneer based recipes such as Pakoras, Bhaturas, Vegetables etc.

Paneer is a soft cheese made from milk. It doesn't have much taste of its own, but it is used in many great dishes like palak paneer (spinach with paneer, also called saagh paneer in the north of India) and mattar paneer (peas with paneer). It can be cooked, fried or deep-fried. It is very popular in India.

• Preparation:

1) 2 liters of full milk (fuller is better) 2) several limes (the juice is needed, vinegar can also be used) 3) (optional) some pepper or freshly chopped coriander 

Heat the milk until it boils. Add lime juice as soon as the milk starts to boil (turn off the heat and keep on stirring!). Add enough so that the milk curdles.
Pour everything through a muslin cloth (or use a tea-towel as I always do), rinse it with some cold water, and hang it to dry for a while (30 minutes or so).
Press the remaining paneer under a heavy pan for a while to get rid of the remaining liquid. You should have a reasonably solid cheese left after about an hour.
