Amul Butter Salted is the butter many Indian households grew up with, made from fresh cream and churned to a texture firm enough to slice yet soft enough to spread once it's had a few minutes out of the fridge. A dollop melting over hot toast or a paratha straight off the tawa is a familiar breakfast scene, and it's just as at home finishing a bowl of dal with a quick tadka, since the salt rounds out the spices nicely. In Mumbai-style pav bhaji, a generous smear on the toasted pav is practically non-negotiable, and the same richness works well in garlic butter for grilled corn or bread, a combination popular at Middle Eastern and Indian barbecues alike.

For baking, salted butter adds extra salt to a recipe, so it suits savoury bakes, pan-frying and finishing sauces rather than delicate cakes where you'd choose unsalted. If you need to soften it quickly, cutting it into small cubes brings it to room temperature far faster than leaving the block whole. Extra blocks freeze well for a couple of months if wrapped tightly, so it's worth keeping a spare rather than letting an open pack sit too long in the fridge door, the warmest spot.
