How to make homemade white butter (makkhan):
Homemade butter is always prepared from the whipped cream or malai collected from milk. Later, it is transferred to a large vessel and mixed until butter and buttermilk is separated. For making it at home, all you will need a food processor or a hand blender. Add heavy whipping cream to the machine you are using and keep mixing. Very quickly, the cream will start to thicken, keep mixing until all the butter comes together. Rinse the butter under cold water to get rid of the buttermilk residue and this will prevent butter from spoiling.
