The emotions are high, and the drinks are too. With the FIFA World Cup 2026 here already, the watch parties have been set up; all you need are some easy yet creative snacks that just keep the game soaring. These snacks take no more than 10 minutes to make, and every guest will be easily impressed!
The crumbles of chips work awfully well as a crust for tikkis, sliders, tater tots, and many more. Just combine vegetables with mashed potatoes along with seasonings, cover it with slurry and chips crumbs, then air-fry or deep fry until crispy.
Indulge in the earthy flavours of this balsamic mushroom and goat cheese bruschetta. Start by sautéing sliced mushrooms with garlic, thyme, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar until they are tender and caramelised.
Mash the leftover samosa filling and spread it between tortillas with a layer of cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crisp. Serve with a side of chutney for a fusion fiesta that brings together the best.
Break the papads into large shards and arrange them on a platter. Top with finely chopped onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Drizzle some whisked yoghurt and tamarind chutney over the top, and finish with a heavy dusting of sev.
One of the tricks for cooking paneer tikka is to prevent the cottage cheese from sticking to the surface and burning. Bake them in the appliance at 200°C for 8-10 minutes. It is a perfect snack to serve at a gathering.
