Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its high fat (6.5g) and sodium (72.5mg) content in a small 10g serving. While it has no added sugar, it is an energy-dense food with minimal protein, fiber, or micronutrients. The 'Lite' branding can be misleading as it is still a high-fat product.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Whole-Wheat Toast with Veggies
Toast a slice of whole-wheat or multigrain bread. Apply a very thin layer (about half a teaspoon) of Amul Lite. Top with freshly sliced tomato, cucumber, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Health Benefits
Combines the spread with high-fiber bread and hydrating vegetables for a more balanced snack.
Lite Mashed Potato Filling
Boil a potato and mash it well. Mix in finely chopped onions, green chilies, and coriander. Add a small dollop of Amul Lite for creaminess instead of regular butter and mix to create a filling for a sandwich or paratha.
Health Benefits
Incorporates the spread into a vegetable-rich filling, promoting portion control and adding nutrients.
Quick Sautéed Vegetables
Heat a non-stick pan. Add half a teaspoon of Amul Lite. Sauté your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and peas until they are crisp-tender. Season with salt and herbs.
Health Benefits
Adds flavor to a bowl of nutrient-dense vegetables while keeping the amount of added fat to a minimum.

Marketing Claims
The claim '0% Vegetable Oil' is factually supported by the milk-fat based ingredient list. However, the term 'Lite' is questionable. While it has less fat (65%) than traditional butter (around 80%), it is still a high-fat, high-calorie product. Consumers might misinterpret 'Lite' as 'healthy' or 'low-calorie', which is not accurate given the nutritional profile. It's lighter than full-fat butter but not a light food in general terms.
