Holi Party? Not Without These Non-Veg Snacks
By Jasmine Kaur
With only a week until Holi, it is time to gear up and prep these delicious non-veg snacks for your guests at this year’s Holi party.
Prawn Aloo Chaat
Never heard of this combination before? The deveined prawns are paired with diced potatoes and tossed in lots of spices. Garnish with lime juice and chaat masala.
Mutton Pakoda
Crispy, delightful bites made of chunky mutton pieces covered in a thick besan batter and deep-fried are best eaten with mint chutney.
Chicken Patties
A common snack eaten during evenings, this one has a meaty touch with succulent pieces of shredded chicken, mixed with onions and spices, is stuffed inside the flaky patty.
Keema R’Bora
Did you know that this dish belongs to the Thakurbaari cuisine? The minced meat stuffed balls are smothered with loads of fresh yoghurt, tamarind chutney and coriander leaves.
Chicken Kachori
Ditch the pyaaz and dal kachoris for this masala chicken filled one. The deep-fried roundels come packed with flavour and can be paired with chutneys and sauces.
Prawn Potli
Shaped like a potli, as the name suggests, the prawns are rolled in a dough of maida and cornflour. It is fried until golden-brown and served with tomato ketchup.
Fish Tikkis
For all the seafood lovers, these fish tikkis are a great spin on the traditional potato cutlets that you have been having for years. Indulge and enjoy.
Mutton Rolls
Mince the mutton properly and toss it in breadcrumbs and a slurry. Deep-fried till it attains a light-brown colour and serve hot and crisp.
Egg Kebabs
Wondering what they’re like? Also called dinosaur eggs, all you need is roasted and marinated eggs, covered in a thick potato coating that are deep-fried till dark brown.
Chicken Vada
Moong dal vada, rava vada and so many other options might have donned your plates but this chicken vada is a crowd pleaser. Packed with juicy flavours, it is a must-have.
