Easy

Buffalow Milk Malai Removed is a simple, wholesome beverage loved across India, especially for those seeking a lighter, protein-rich drink without the heaviness of full-fat milk. Traditionally, buffalo milk is known for its creamy texture and high fat content, but by removing the malai (cream), you get a nutritious, low-fat version ideal for calorie-conscious individuals. This drink is perfect for those who desire the richness of milk without the extra calories, making it a popular choice during fasting (vrat) and post-workout routines. In Indian households, malai removal is a common practice, especially in regions where buffalo milk is used daily. This process not only reduces the fat content but also allows the milk to be used in a variety of beverages and recipes, such as chai, kheer, or simply enjoyed plain. The taste remains creamy yet lighter, retaining the subtle sweetness and full-bodied flavor buffalo milk is revered for in Indian cuisine. Whether sipped warm during winter mornings or enjoyed chilled in the summer, this beverage bridges tradition and wellness, offering a refreshing alternative to regular milk. Buffalow Milk Malai Removed aligns perfectly with the growing health-conscious movement in India, catering to those who seek nutrition without compromise. It's a versatile, easy-to-make drink that can be enjoyed by all age groups and is suitable for vegetarian diets.

Ingredients(for 1 glass (200 ml))

  • 500 ml Buffalo milk (malai removed) (Doodh, full-fat before malai removed)
  • 2 pods Green cardamom (Elaichi, lightly crushed) - optional
  • a pinch Black pepper powder (Kali mirch, optional for spice) - optional
  • 1 tsp Stevia or mishri (rock sugar) (For sweetness, as per taste) - optional
  • 4-5 strands Saffron strands (Kesar, optional for aroma) - optional

  • 1 tsp Almond slivers (Badam, for garnish) - optional

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil fresh buffalo milk in a heavy-bottomed patila (pot) on medium flame. Let it come to a full boil while stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

    10 minutes

    Use a wide, heavy-bottomed vessel to avoid burning the milk.

  2. 2

    Allow the milk to cool slightly. When a thick layer of malai forms on top, gently remove it using a flat spoon or ladle. Collect the malai for other uses.

    5 minutes

    Chill the boiled milk for faster malai separation.

  3. 3

    Reheat the malai-removed milk on low flame. Add green cardamom, black pepper, saffron, and dry ginger powder if using. Mix well.

    3 minutes

    Add spices for enhanced aroma and digestion benefits.

  4. 4

    Let the milk simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to infuse. Stir occasionally.

    3 minutes

    Do not overboil after malai is removed to retain nutrients.
