Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (16 oz / 455g) unsalted butter, preferably homemade, at room temperature
  • 0.33 cups (0.8 oz / 24g) chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tbsp (0.25 oz / 7g) freshly ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp (0.1 oz / 3g) chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 tsp (0.2 oz / 6g) salt
  • 1 tbsp (0.3 oz / 9g) black poppy seeds (optional)
  • Prioritize Freshly Ground Nutmeg: Pre-ground nutmeg loses its volatile oils quickly. Grating a whole nutmeg seed right before blending ensures the deepest, most aromatic flavor profile for your Jaiphal Makhan.
  • The Perfect Room Temperature: Your butter should be soft enough to yield to a gentle press but not melting or greasy. If the butter is too warm, the herbs will sink to the bottom of your molds instead of suspending beautifully throughout the mixture.
  • Leverage Silicone Molds: For pristine, professional-looking pats of butter, use flexible silicone molds rather than hard plastic. Once the butter is completely frozen, it will pop out perfectly without losing any detailed patterns.
  • Maximize Keto Macros: This herb-infused butter is a phenomenal, zero-sugar addition for a low-carb lifestyle. Melt it generously over steamed asparagus, cauliflower mash, or a premium ribeye to effortlessly hit your daily fat macros while elevating the flavor profile.

Method
 

  1. Cut the softened 2 cups (16 oz / 455g) of butter into 1-inch (2. 5 cm) pieces and place them directly into a food processor fitted with a standard metal blade.
  2. Add the 0. 33 cups (0. 8 oz / 24g) chopped fresh basil, 1 tbsp. (0. 25 oz / 7g) freshly ground nutmeg, 1 tbsp. (0. 1 oz / 3g) chopped fresh coriander, and 1 tsp. (0. 2 oz / 6g) salt to the food processor bowl.
  3. Cover the processor and pulse the mixture until the fresh basil and coriander leaves are finely chopped and uniformly blended into the butter.
  4. Remove the blade and manually stir in the 1 tbsp. (0. 3 oz / 9g) black poppy seeds if you are using them for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
  5. Transfer your finished Basil-Nutmeg Butter into decorative molds for entertaining, or wrap it tightly in wax paper.
  6. When well-sealed, the butter can be kept frozen for up to 3 months.
