Cut into wedges and serve warm.If you wish to prepare your own spiced ghee instead of purchasing traditional Niter Kibbeh (available here), simple begin by placing the butter in a wide stainless steel skillet over low heat. Toss in the spices. As the butter melts, it will release a fine foam. Skim off the foam and discard it. Continue melting the butter until it releases all its foam, about 30 minutes, and the remaining milk solids settle to the bottom of the pan.
