Malai has about 55% butterfat. Buffalo milk is thought to produce better malai because of its high fat content. Buffalo milk with fat contents varying from 5 to 12% is heated and boiled and then allowed to cool up to 4&nbsp;°Celsius for best results. Similarly, cow's milk with milk fat from 3 to 5% is boiled and cooled to make malai.
