About this ebook
Keeping this in mind, I present Kebabs and Tikkis A compilation of 61 delicious and innovative kebab, tikka and tikki recipes. For those of you who are willing to look beyond Indian snacks, I have also included a section of my all-time favourite international finger foods.
Some of the kebabs have been deep-fried or cooked in ghee. You could shallow-fry these or use oil instead of ghee, so that you can rest assured on the health front too. And well, there is something for everybody, from the live-for-the-day eater to the more discerning health-conscious ones.
In this book, you will discover yummy tikkis such as Mutter aur Phudine ki Tikki, Dahi Saunfiyani Tikki and Chick Pea and Soya Tikki, an array of mouth-watering kebabs such as Badam aur Arbi ke Kebab, Vegetable Shikampuri Kebab and Corn Seekh Kebab and a delectable variety of soft and creamy tikkas such as Pahadi Paneer Tikka, Makhmali Paneer Tikka and Tilwale Aloo ka Tikka.
For those who wish for a taste of the world, there are international favourites such as Aloo Cheese Croquettes, Sweet Corn Balls and Paneer, Mushroom and Capsicum Satay. Accompaniments such as Phudina Chutney, Peanut Sauce and Chunky Vegetable Dip duly complement the snacks, enhancing their appeal. Go ahead and put together one of the suggested platters or come up with an original platter full of your favourite recipes, Indian and beyond!
That said, variety alone does not ensure that the starters/snacks served during your party become a huge hit with the guests. A major part of the planning involves combining these snacks appropriately into what is today popular-known as a “platter”. Platters are a dominant phenomenon today they ensure guests a well-chosen selection of snacks replete with rotis, a salad or two and suitable chutneys and sauces. A well-planned platter is wholesome and nutritious and capable of serving as a meal in itself for the snack-lover (while serving as a starter for the rest).
This book comes replete with 8 platter suggestions that guide you on how to serve your tikkis, tikkas and kebabs, and the accompaniments that we feel they would ideally combine with. These platters are based on specific themes.
The next time you plan a party or are attacked by a sudden hunger pang, fret not, and just pull out this book. Prepare some of these easy-to-follow recipes and watch the platters empty while the diners' faces light up!
Each recipe in this book has a beautiful image and each ingredient is linked to a glossary so that you never get lost.
Happy entertaining,
