Changkyal: Traditional Butter-Making in Baltistan
Description
In the old times, there was a traditional method of making cream or butter in Baltistan. Cream or milk would be shaken vigorously for about half an hour to make delicious butter and buttermilk. Then, one would soak the skin of a slaughtered goat in hot water for three days, after which they would clean it with a blade to remove any remaining hair. To eliminate any odor, one would rinse it with hot water and then shake it for some time before removing the water, leaving the skin odor-free. After this process, the cream was used to make butter and butter-milk. This traditional method of extracting butter in a vessel is called changkyal, and approximately 1 to 2 kg of butter were produced at a time.
