Appetizers

Who doesn’t love appetizers? Whether you call them hors d’oeuvre, finger food, or starters they are delicious. Anytime you gather together with family or friends appetizers always start off the party right. Even if you’re not entertaining it’s fun to change things up during the week and serve them for a light dinner. What’s better than finger food when you’ve got a busy night?

In my opinion, appetizers are what make the party. When I’m entertaining I find myself getting excited about which ones I’m going to serve. I’ve put together a collection of the best appetizer recipes to share with you that are sure to please the crowd. There’s something for everyone...

Make my popular finger-licking tandoori chicken wings for your next game day and watch them disappear. OR try an easy cold appetizer such as a healthy spicy mango salad or flavorful chicken tikka kebabs. Serve these kebabs with my cilantro-mint chutney and it’s sure to be a hit at your next gathering.

There are also vegetarian options like simple beet salad, or perfect eggplant and red pepper spread served on a toasted baguette. You can make this in your Instant Pot and it is so easy and delicious. Ready in just 20 minutes!

I’ve also shared with you some of my favorite Indian appetizers like Dahi Vada. I’ve taken this dish and made it into a healthier version without compromising the flavors. You have to try my quick and tasty Kothimbir Vadi too! Made with a few ingredients these cakes are packed with flavor and very healthy.

When it comes to small bites be adventurous and have fun! You’re going to love these simple and tasty appetizer recipes!
