Fresh White Butter, known as makhan in many South Asian kitchens, is unsalted, unclarified butter with a soft, almost whipped texture and a clean, mildly sweet dairy flavor. Because it hasn't been cooked down like ghee, it melts quickly and spreads effortlessly on warm rotis or parathas, and it is the traditional starting point if you want to make your own ghee at home by simmering it gently until the water evaporates and the milk solids turn golden. Cooks who like a softer, creamier finish on dal or vegetable dishes often stir in a spoonful of white butter right before serving, since its lower cooking temperature keeps flavors delicate rather than nutty.

It also works nicely creamed with a touch of sugar for simple homemade sweets, or whipped into mashed dishes for extra richness. Because it contains more moisture than ghee, white butter is more perishable, so keep it refrigerated in a sealed container and use it within a shorter window; letting it soften briefly at room temperature before spreading makes it easier to work with without leaving it out for long in UAE's heat.
