5 desi snacks, revamped

Some people say that vegetarians have minimal options when it comes to snacking. They are limited to just paneer and mushrooms when it comes to starters. This article is going to break that myth for you. But, but, but there is more to the story, these are not just plain and simple starters- they are in a totally different avatar! We decided to take some of the most popular snacks and give them a newfangled look. Here are 5 delightful recipes that you will enjoy preparing and your guests will enjoy eating!

Chole Aloo Pie

Chole is Punjabi pride, but can get a little too simple and monotonous for a party, so we glammed it up by creating this gorgeous Aloo chole pie. Masala chickpeas and mashed potatoes baked together in a pie dish – top this up with some cheese and serve with crisp toast for a fun interactive fun party. You can make tiny individual ones or bake a large pie and cut slices!

Cocktail Idli

Bite sized mini idlis tossed in a spicy molagapodi powder and skewered with onions, tomatoes and capsicum served over shot glasses filled with a flavourful rasam. All you need to do is a little bit of prep, so you can enjoy the party while you watch these delicious treats fly off the rack!

Pav Bhaji Fondue

Pav bhaji is a favourite for many and this fondue version takes up the style quotient of this humble Mumbai Style Street food. Crisp buttered bread croutons dunked into a spicy mixed vegetable bhaji.
