Kesariya Gulab Makhan Board — with fresh fruits, rose petals, almonds, and a saffron-rose-kewra infused honey, this butter board is an ode to the classic Indian makhan mithai that I loved as a kid. Sweet peaches and blueberries paired with the creamy butter and floral honey are a combo that I could only dream of!

If you’re anything like me, one of the first things that came to our mind with this new butter board trend was Makhan Mithai. A popular Indian mithai with nuts and fruits in a butter base, it’s the perfect inspo! I like to serve this with pav for the most authentic flavor but even crackers or other bread would be great in a pinch!
