One way to add a creative and thematic touch to your Janmashtami celebration is by crafting a Butter Board that pays homage to the mischievous nature of Lord Krishna, who was famously fond of stealing butter. We think it’s time to elevate celebrations with delicious flavours and a touch of creativity.

The Butter Board trend has its roots in the broader movement towards elevated food presentation. As social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest became increasingly popular, food bloggers, chefs, and home cooks alike began to focus not only on the taste of their dishes but also on their visual appeal.

The appeal of the Butter Board trend lies in its ability to transform a simple and everyday ingredient into a work of edible art. Whether you’re hosting a brunch, or a dinner party, or simply want to elevate your daily breakfast, a well-crafted Butter Board can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any meal.

Here’s how you can create a Butter Board that’s perfect for Janmashtami:

Method:

• Start by leaving the unsalted butter at room temperature until it becomes soft and easy to work with. Once softened, divide it into smaller portions and infuse each portion with distinct Indian flavours.
• Use your butter knives and spreaders to shape the flavoured butter into decorative forms that evoke the essence of Janmashtami. Consider creating butter rosettes, and swirls.
• Place your flavoured butter creations on the chosen serving board. Arrange them artistically. Create a visually appealing arrangement that honours Lord Krishna’s playful nature. You can even add miniature figurines or images of Lord Krishna and his beloved cows to enhance the theme.
• Decorate your Butter Board with edible garnishes like saffron strands, edible flowers, and slivers of pistachio or almond.
• Your Butter Board is ready to be enjoyed. Present it to your guests as a delightful appetizer or accompaniment to a meal.

So, gather your materials, infuse your butter with exciting flavours, and sculpt it into edible masterpieces that will elevate your Janmashtami dining experience.
