Amul Safed Makkhan Review – Tasty & Creamy Milk Goodness

India’s most loved and amongst the most trusted dairy brands in India – Amul has added a new butter variant to its pre-existing range. The Amul Safed Makkhan is the newest addition to the long list of Amul products that line up dozens of shelves in any supermarket. 

With Amul Safed Makkhan, Amul has yet again launched a product that comes with loads of nostalgia. Safed makkhan, or unsalted white butter is something made in millions of Indian kitchens using curd. The result is translucent white butter, which is smooth and creamy as only homemade butter can be. 

We ordered the 100-gram mono-carton of this white butter by Amul to our test kitchen. For our Amul Safed Makkhan review, we compared the butter we ordered to a portion of homemade unsalted white butter. Along with taste and aroma, we tested the Amul Safed Makkhan for its creaminess over a dozen items.

Did the Amul Safed Makkhan live up to our expectations? Or do we prefer our homemade white butter? Scroll down to find the answer!

Amul Safed Makkhan has the classic milky taste. Unlike salted yellow butter, this white butter has a subtle flavor.

Our major parameters for the Amul Safed Makkhan review were creaminess and spreadability along with taste, aroma, color, and the convenience it offers. 

When the Amul Safed Makkhan was compared to homemade unsalted white butter, we found that there were no major differences in the color and aroma. 

Though the Amul Safed Makkhan had a milky creaminess that white butter traditionally has, it was slightly lower in comparison to the homemade variant. 

To know how Team Mishry tested this newest Amul product, read our Amul Safed Makkhan review. 

1. Taste

Amul Safed Makkhan has the classic milky taste. Unlike salted yellow butter, this white butter has a subtle flavor. 

We spread a generous dollop of the Amul Safed Makkhan over jowar rotis and toasted bread. In addition to this, we also made the Slurrp Farm pancakes using the Amul Safed butter. 

Not only was the taste enhanced, but we couldn’t stop ourselves from relishing this creamy goodness. 

2. Quality

The Amul Safed Makkhan is as close as it gets to homemade white butter. Visually, the Amul Safed butter looked similar to what one would make at home. 

The aroma from our homemade white butter and Amul Safed Makhhan were very close too. This comes packed in the standard Amul packaging. 

3. Texture

The spreadability of chocolate spreads, cheese spreads, and even butter heavily depends on the temperature in that region and how it is being stored. In addition to this, applying butter over something warm as compared to adding butter straight to the pan also affects the spreadability.

We kept our mono carton of the Amul Safed Makkhan at room temperature and noticed it spread well. 

When compared to the homemade white butter, we noticed the creaminess wasn’t as intense in the Amul Safed Makkhan. 

4. Color

As the name suggests, white butter has the same color. Our homemade safed makkhan and Amul Safed Makkhan had minor differences in shade. 

Naturally, butter has a pale yellow color. The depth of yellow can vary from a very mild one that almost looks off-white to a deeper shade of yellow based on additional ingredients or how cows have been grazed.

5. Price

The 100 gram mono carton of Amul Safed Makkhan is priced at Rs 47/-.  Most 100-gram butter packets from Amul are priced in the same range.

In our opinion, the Amul Safed Makkhan is a convenient and budget-friendly option. 

6. Shelf Life

You are recommended to store this butter under refrigeration. It has a shelf life of six months from the date of packaging.

Adding the ‘granny’s touch’ to your homemade parathas has never been easier. It has a delectable milky creaminess and a rich aroma.

Did you know? White butter may be full of fats, but it actually helps with weight loss! Here’s how-

White butter is loaded with lecithin. Lecithin is a major component used in fat-burning supplements. Moderate consumption of white butter helps in burning fat over time, when combined with a healthy diet and an active lifestyle, of course.

Best Suited For

If you are someone who doesn’t know the entire process or simply doesn’t want to go through it, we recommend you get your hands on this. 

Instead of churning butter at home and doing the dishes later (it’s a challenge we have experienced first hand), the Amul Safed Makkhan offers an equally delectable taste with a milky creaminess. 

Similarly, it can be added to everyday meals and can also be heated up to make some aromatic ghee!
