Stuffed Potato Skins
The crispy potato skins loaded with cheese, corn, and herbs make for the perfect party snacks. They are crunchy from the outside and creamy from inside, delivering a burst of flavour in every bite.

Paneer Tikka Skewers
An absolute party favourite, paneer tikka is not only scrumptious but also looks amazing when served on skewers. When marinated paneer cubes with bell peppers and onions are grilled to perfection, it gives it a smoky and spicy zing. You can also serve them as finger food or with a dip such as mint chutney for added flavour. Light but satisfying, paneer tikka skewers are sure to be a hit at your weekend party.
Mini Veg Sliders
The bite-sized burgers are fun, satisfying, and best for kids and adults. Prepared with soft buns and a spiced vegetable patty, they are layered with cheese, lettuce, and a tangy sauce. Their bite size makes them free of mess and easy to eat while chatting, dancing or indulging in fun games. You can also experiment with fillings such as beetroot patties or mushroom mixes for a twist. Serve them with crispy fries as well as potato wedges, and your party will rock.
Cheese & Corn Balls
Cheese and corn balls are golden, crispy from the outside and gooey from the inside and can be hit at any weekend party. To make, just mix mashed potatoes, sweet corn, cheese, and herbs, shape them into balls, and deep-fry until they get a golden hue. Serve them sizzling hot with ketchup or spicy mayo for dipping. They are bite-sized, easy to eat, and also super addictive, which makes them one of the first snacks to vanish from the table. Not only this, but they can also be paired with mocktails or cocktails.
