Between the festivities, laughter, and colour playing session, Holi get-togethers call for snacks that can be prepared quickly and can be served easily. These easy snacks bring the festive flavour without you having to stand you having to stand in the kitchen for a long time.
Top up the store-bought papdi with some chilled yoghurt, chutneys, onion, coriander and sev. These bite-sized chaat cups are quick to make and are perfect for a colourful Holi spread.
Toss the steamed sweet corn with some butter, chaat masala, lime, and fresh coriander leaves. It is warm, tangy, and can be prepared in minutes without having any complicated prep.
Spread the spiced paneer filling on flattened bread slices, roll them tightly, and fry until crisp. Slice for small portions for an easy-to-eat, crowd-pleasing snack.
Make some aloo tikkis, place them into small buns with chutney, and serve as mini sliders. It is satisfying, filling, and can be prepared quickly.
Make the usual namak para and sprinkle some peri-peri or chaat masala on them. These crunchy bites remain fresh for a long time and are perfect for munching.
Mix the seasonal fruits with some honey, black salt, and a pinch of chilli powder. It feels refreshing, full of colours, and perfectly balances the heavier festive delights.
