Makhan
fresh white butter made at home by churning curd, softer and purer than commercial butter. In Vrindavan, makhan is Krishna's most beloved food — and the thing he is most famous for stealing from his mother's kitchen and every neighbour's pot within reach.
If your child asks about Makhan, tell them: "It is a word you might hear in Indian stories." Then ask them — "Where do you think you'd see Makhan in real life?" It opens a small conversation about Indian culture.
