Nutritional Summary
The product receives a poor rating primarily due to its high content of saturated and trans fats per serving. A 30g serving contains 4.8g of saturated fat (approximately 22% of the FSSAI recommended daily limit) and 0.3g of trans fat. While it has no added sugar, the high concentration of unhealthy fats makes it a product to be consumed sparingly and in very small quantities.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Lighter Palak Paneer
Sauté onions, ginger-garlic paste, and tomatoes. Add spinach puree and spices like turmeric and garam masala. Stir in paneer cubes and cook for 2 minutes. Finish with just one tablespoon of Amul cream for a hint of richness without excess fat.
Health Benefits
A protein and iron-rich dish where cream is used sparingly to enhance flavor while keeping the fat content in check.
Creamy Dal Tadka
Cook lentils (dal) with turmeric and salt until soft. In a separate pan, temper spices like cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and dried red chilies in ghee. Add chopped onions, tomatoes and cook until soft. Add this tempering to the dal, and stir in one tablespoon of cream just before serving for a creamy finish.
Health Benefits
Adds a luxurious texture to protein-packed dal while using only a small amount of fat.
Fruit Salad with a Touch of Cream
Chop seasonal fruits like apples, bananas, grapes, and pomegranate into a bowl. For the dressing, whisk one tablespoon of cream with a teaspoon of honey and a pinch of cardamom powder. Drizzle the light dressing over the fruits and toss gently.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Low Fat Cream' is questionable and potentially misleading. A product containing 25% fat is not considered 'low fat' by general food standards, where low-fat products typically contain less than 3g of fat per 100g. While it may be lower in fat compared to heavy creams (35-40% fat), the term is likely to mislead consumers seeking genuinely low-fat options. The claim '25% Milk Fat' is accurate and transparent.
