About Malai

Malai, often referred to as "clotted cream" in English, is a rich dairy product commonly used in South Asian cuisine, especially Indian and Pakistani dishes. It is made by simmering whole milk slowly and then skimming off the thick, creamy layer that forms on top. Malai is prized for its luxurious texture and mild flavor, making it a key ingredient in desserts like kheer and kulfi, or as a garnish for curries and sauces. Nutritionally, malai is high in calories and saturated fats, providing a significant energy boost, but its high-fat content should be consumed in moderation, especially for individuals managing heart health or weight concerns. While it contains beneficial nutrients such as calcium and protein, its dense calorie profile makes it best enjoyed as a treat or occasional addition to meals rather than a staple.
