Planning a Christmas Party? These Dishes Will Make Your Buffet a Success
The dishes you serve at a Christmas party can make the difference between a great or not-so-great party. However, it isn’t always easy to come up with tasty snack ideas. You need a break from the usual dishes and serve a collection of scrumptious snacks at your Christmas buffet. Here’s a list of some easy-to-cook and easy-to-serve dishes which need to be on your party menu.
- Chicken Tikka
The dish consists of tender chicken chunks marinated in flavourful spices and is grilled on skewers. You can cook the chicken tikka on large skewers and serve the chunks on a platter for guests to pick up with toothpicks. Other than that, you can also make individual mini skewers. Usually, chicken tikka is baked in a clay oven called a tandoor. However, if you don’t have a tandoor, using an oven or grill is a good alternative. Furthermore, you need to plan ahead when making this recipe as the chicken should sit in the yoghurt and spice marination overnight.
- Kebabs
You can choose to make from a wide variety of kebabs like paneer kebab, galouti kebab, dahi kebab, reshmi kebab, Bihari Kabab, and hara bhara kebab. If you can’t decide which one you like the best, you can simply prepare a mixed platter. Kebabs are best served with mint-coriander chutney. Kebabs are considered as the perfect party snacks as their smokey, melt-in-mouth texture, and char-grilled aroma can easily get your guests hooked. Traditionally, kebabs are made with mild spices and minced meat. Even though lamb is the original meat used to prepare kebabs, this dish has been localised to include chicken, paneer and other varieties of foods.
- Penne Vodka Pasta
With its tempting flavour and a splash of vodka, a pasta dish will please everyone on the Christmas Eve. Comforting, delicious, and downright divine, a great pasta recipe with cream and a splash of vodka is all you need to make your buffet a success.
