Finding the right Makhan in Australia can take a little more thought than picking up a regular pack of butter.
If you grew up eating Makhan, you may already know exactly what you want: soft, creamy Makhan with a hot paratha, fresh roti or naan. But when you're shopping in Australia, you can come across several names — Makhan, White Makhan, White Butter, Buffalo Makhan and Cow Makhan — and it isn't always obvious which one is right for you.
Then there is the next question: where should you buy it?
You may prefer to pick it up from a local grocery store during your regular shopping, or you may want the convenience of having it delivered to your home.
This guide takes you through the buying journey step by step — from choosing the right type of Makhan to finding it locally, ordering it in Melbourne, checking what you're buying and enjoying it at home.
If you're new to Makhan and want to understand its traditional background first, start with our broader guide, What Is Makhan in Australia?
Start With the Makhan You Actually Want
Before deciding where to buy Makhan, decide which Makhan you're looking for.
The two varieties in the Kisaan range are Buffalo Makhan and Cow Makhan.
Both are traditional Makhan, but they have different natural characteristics because they come from different dairy sources.
Looking for White Makhan?
If the Makhan you're familiar with is traditionally white, Buffalo Makhan is the variety to look for.
Kisaan Buffalo Makhan is made using Australian buffalo cultured cream and has a distinct marble-white colour.
It has a creamy, smooth and soft texture with a distinct flavour profile.
Looking for Cow Makhan?
Kisaan Cow Makhan is made using cultured cream and has a naturally pale yellowish colour.
It has a distinct flavour profile with a creamy, soft texture.
So the simplest way to begin your search is:
Buffalo Makhan → marble white
Cow Makhan → pale yellowish
The colour difference is a natural characteristic of the two dairy sources.
Once you've decided which type you're looking for, the next step is choosing how you want to shop.
For Kisaan customers, there are two straightforward options.
Buy Kisaan Makhan From a Local Grocery Store
Kisaan Makhan is now available through local grocery stores across Australia.
This makes it possible to find Kisaan Makhan as part of your normal grocery shopping rather than having to search specifically for a specialist dairy supplier.
If you already shop at an Indian, South Asian or other local grocery store that stocks Kisaan products, check whether they carry Buffalo Makhan, Cow Makhan or both.
The range can vary between stores, so if you have a particular variety in mind, it's always worth checking with the store.
Order Kisaan Makhan for Home Delivery
If you're in Melbourne, you also have the option of Kisaan home delivery.
This can be useful if you prefer ordering fresh dairy online, don't have a suitable grocery store nearby or simply want your regular dairy shop delivered to your door.
So the buying options are simple:
Across Australia: look for Kisaan Makhan at local grocery stores.
In Melbourne: you can also choose Kisaan home delivery.
Know What You're Buying Before You Choose
Once you've found Makhan, take a moment to look beyond the name on the pack.
A few details can tell you a lot about the product.
Check the Dairy Source
The first question is whether you're buying Buffalo Makhan or Cow Makhan.
Kisaan Buffalo Makhan is made using Australian buffalo cultured cream.
Kisaan Cow Makhan is made using cultured cream from cow dairy.
The milk source is one of the reasons the two varieties have naturally different appearances.
Look at the Natural Colour
Colour can help you understand which variety you're looking at.
Buffalo Makhan: distinct marble white
Cow Makhan: pale yellowish
Neither needs to look artificially identical to the other.
The difference is part of the natural character of the respective dairy.
Check How the Makhan Is Made
How a product is made is just as useful to know as what it is called.
Kisaan Buffalo Makhan is specially handcrafted by slow churning Australian buffalo cultured cream with a mild whipping process.
Kisaan Cow Makhan is specially handcrafted by slow churning cultured cream with a mild whipping process.
This process contributes to the soft and creamy character of the finished Makhan.
Read the Product Information
Kisaan's Buffalo and Cow Makhan are natural and free from preservative, colourant and artificial flavour.
When comparing any dairy product, it is good practice to read the individual product information rather than relying only on the name or appearance.
Buffalo Makhan or Cow Makhan: Which Should You Choose?
There isn't one Makhan that everyone has to choose.
It comes down to what you're looking for.
If you want...
Choose
Traditional White Makhan
Buffalo Makhan
Marble-white Makhan
Buffalo Makhan
Buffalo cultured cream
Buffalo Makhan
Naturally pale yellowish Makhan
Cow Makhan
Cow cultured cream
Cow Makhan

Either variety

Choose Buffalo Makhan when...
You're specifically looking for the traditional White Makhan or White Butter associated with buffalo dairy, particularly its naturally marble-white appearance.
Choose Cow Makhan when...
You prefer Cow Makhan and its naturally pale yellowish colour, distinct flavour profile and creamy, soft texture.
The choice is not about one being better than the other.
They're simply two different varieties of Makhan.
Where to Find Kisaan Makhan Across Australia
This is where buying Makhan has become much easier.

This is particularly convenient if you already buy Indian or South Asian groceries locally.
You can add Makhan to your normal shopping rather than making a separate trip specifically to find it.
