Assumed: 1 tablespoon ≈ 15 g — the layer off the top of boiled milk.
Malai (Cream) by portion
Everything scales linearly from the 15 g serving. If your portion is bigger, so is the number.
| Portion | Grams | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × 1 tablespoon | 15 g | 45 kcal | 0.4 g | 0.4 g | 4.6 g | 0.0 g |
| 2 × 1 tablespoon | 30 g | 90 kcal | 0.8 g | 0.9 g | 9.3 g | 0.0 g |
| 3 × 1 tablespoon | 45 g | 135 kcal | 1.1 g | 1.4 g | 14.0 g | 0.0 g |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 300 kcal | 2.5 g | 3.0 g | 31.0 g | 0.0 g |
Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate; fibre is listed separately and is in neither the carbohydrate column nor the energy figure. Energy is reconciled against 4P + 4C + 9F on every build.
Unverified: No source found. No composition table or peer-reviewed analysis for this exact food could be located. The value is an unverified analysis and is labelled as one.
దీనితో కలిపి చదవండి: No composition table analyses malai. It is the skin lifted off boiled milk, its fat runs anywhere from about a quarter to over half by weight depending on the milk and how long it stood, and no Indian or American table carries it as a food. The nearest sourced analogue is USDA light whipping cream, FDC ID 170858, at 292 kcal with 30.9 g of fat, 2.2 g of protein and 3 g of carbohydrate per 100 g — close to the figures shown here, which is reassuring but is not a measurement of malai. The July 2026 audit looked for one and did not find it, so this row stays labelled unverified.
How malai (cream) is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 1 tablespoon, taken as 15 g — not an anonymous 100 g.
- Composition is read off a named row: No source found, and the label on that row is printed above rather than hidden.
- Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate. Where a source publishes carbohydrate by difference, the fibre is subtracted here and the subtraction is stated.
- Energy is reconciled against Atwater factors on every build; a value that disagrees with its own macros does not ship.
serving kcal = 300 kcal/100 g × (15 g ÷ 100) = 45 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)
Where it sits on a fasting plate
Among the 10 entries in milk & dairy on this site, malai (cream) ranks 3 of 10 for energy density at 300 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies only 3% of its energy. Most of the vrat food list looks like this, which is exactly why protein during a vrat is the guide people need most.
It is fat-dominant, so the portion decides everything — a katori and a handful are very different amounts.
ప్రశ్నలు
Is malai (cream) eaten during a vrat?
It is commonly eaten during a phalahar vrat in most households. Customs differ by family, region and community — this describes what is usual, not what is required.
How many calories are in 1 tablespoon of malai (cream)?
About 45 kcal for 1 tablespoon, taken as 15 g (the layer off the top of boiled milk). That is 0.4 g protein, 0.4 g carbohydrate and 4.6 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 300 kcal.
Is malai (cream) filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies only about 3% of its energy, so treat it as fuel rather than as something that will keep you full. Fibre is low at 0.0 g per 100 g. On a vrat that matters more than usual, because so much of the permitted food list is rapidly digested starch.

Practices are described as సాధారణంగా కనిపించేది; customs differ by family, region, community and sampradaya, and this site is not an authority on any of them. Food values come from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN), the older ICMR–NIN tables, USDA FoodData Central, named composition studies and the shared ThaliFacts dataset, reconciled against Atwater factors on every build. Which source applies to which food is listed per food, and every source carries the date it was last checked. General information only — not medical or religious guidance. Fasting is not safe for everyone, particularly during pregnancy or with diabetes or other conditions. Speak to a doctor first.
