Dairy in Indian Restaurant Kitchens

Butter, ghee, paneer, and cream are foundational ingredients in North Indian cuisine — from butter chicken and dal makhani to paneer tikka and raita. For pizza and Italian restaurants, mozzarella cheese is a top-cost ingredient. Sourcing consistent, fresh dairy at institutional prices directly impacts your food quality and margins.

Key Dairy Products for Restaurants

Butter: Amul is the undisputed leader. Restaurant kitchens use 500g and 1kg blocks for cooking and 100g table packs for service. A busy North Indian restaurant uses 15-30 kg of butter per month.

Paneer: Critical for vegetarian menu items. Fresh paneer from Amul and Mother Dairy is preferred over frozen. Shelf life is 5-7 days refrigerated. Many restaurants buy daily to ensure freshness.

Mozzarella Cheese: For pizza, pasta, and grilled items. Amul mozzarella (1kg blocks) is the most used in India. Quality is measured by stretch, melt, and browning characteristics.

Ghee: For dal tadka, biryani dum, sweets, and premium dishes. Amul and Gowardhan are popular institutional brands. Ghee has a long shelf life (6-12 months) making it suitable for bulk purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which dairy brand is most used in Indian restaurants?
Amul (GCMMF) dominates the institutional dairy market across butter, cheese, paneer, ghee, and cream. Mother Dairy is strong in Delhi NCR, and Britannia is popular for cheese in West and South India. Amul's institutional sales division serves restaurants through a dedicated supply chain.
How should restaurants store dairy products?
Butter: 2-8°C, lasts 4-6 weeks. Paneer: 2-4°C, use within 5-7 days of opening. Mozzarella: 2-8°C, use within 7 days of opening. Ghee: room temperature in airtight container, lasts 6-12 months. Cream: 2-4°C, use within 3-4 days. Always maintain cold chain during delivery.
What is the monthly dairy spend for a typical restaurant?
A North Indian restaurant (80-100 covers) typically spends ₹30,000-60,000/month on dairy — butter (₹8,000-15,000), paneer (₹10,000-20,000), cream (₹3,000-8,000), ghee (₹5,000-12,000). Pizza restaurants spend heavily on mozzarella — ₹20,000-50,000/month depending on volume.
