This butter (loni/makkhan) is then heated until all the water content is evaporated and only the fat content remains which is the Ghee.
The churning process is done by using wooden churners (bilona). For the heating process, cow dung is most beneficial fuel.Depending upon the output and productivity, bilona is either hand churned or churned via motor.
