How is the amul cheese made?

Answer 1

Amul Butter is a product of An and Milk Union Limited Company founded in 1946. their own web site states that their butter is made with sweet cream, milk, salt, and annatto (a yellow/orange food coloring).

Butter is pretty much made the same way it has always been made. Cream is agitated slowly until the butter fats solidify from the liquid (buttermilk). Sometimes salt is added. Sometimes, as with the Amul recipe, coloring is added.

It's actually pretty easy to make your own butter with a food processor. Simply fill a food processor bowl 1/2 full with vat pasteurized cream. Run the processor until the cream passes through the various stages of butter making: sloshy, frothy, soft whipped cream, firm whipped cream, coarse whipped cream.

The cream will "seize" very soon after the coarse whipped cream stage. This is butter. If you want to store it for any length of time, you will want to wash it by adding a 1/2 cup cold water to the bowl (after draining off the buttermilk) and running the processor a few minutes. Drain and replace the water every couple minutes until the water remains clear, then remove the butter and work it in a clean bowl with a spatula, potato masher, or forks to release the remaining water. When no more water can be worked from the butter, it is ready to be molded for storage. You can add salt at this time too.
