How to Make Niter Kibbeh
- Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Once melted, continue to heat until the butter foams and the milk solids begin to settle at the bottom. This takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Carefully add 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and a pinch of saffron threads (optional).
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 45 minutes, without stirring.
- You'll notice the milk solids separating from the clear butter.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
- Line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth or muslin. Carefully pour the mixture through the sieve, allowing the clarified butter to drip into a heat-safe bowl. Discard the milk solids.
- Once cooled, store your Niter Kibbeh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
- Drizzle over rice, couscous, or use as a flavorful base for your favorite curry dishes.
