Aloo Tikki

Aloo Tikki is a classic restaurant-style appetiser that you can now make at your place in under 15 minutes. All you got to do is stock up your pantry with ITC Master Chef’s frozen aloo tikki packets.

Frozen samosas

Who doesn’t love crunchy and flavourful samosas? Don’t have the time or the patience to make samosas from the scratch for your dinner party? Why not bring home a few packets of frozen samosa and serve your guest’s street-style samosas and watch them go ‘ Wow!’? 

Just deep fry them in oil on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until they turn a gorgeous brown hue and serve them hot. You can serve them with tomato sauce, green chutney or any other homemade sauces or dips. You can either go for the classic potato filling or try out paneer or any other unique stuffing option available in the market today. Serve these hot samosas along with a plate of Bingo chips and make your guests happy. 

Chilli Garlic Potato Shots 

This is a hit amongst kids and adults alike. Crispy and spicy potato shots with a hint of garlic. What more can you ask for? This mouthwatering frozen food item will leave your guests licking their fingers. You can air fry, bake or deep fry them depending on your preference. 

These potato shots are not too oily and serve as a perfect snack for people who are looking for a light snack. You can add these chilli garlic potato shots to your cheese platter or serve them as an appetiser or side dish along with a main dish. 

Lebanese Falafel Kebab

Planning to serve a Mediterranean platter to your guests during your next dinner party? You must check out ITC Master Chef’s Lebanese Falafel Kebab. They are made with chickpeas and have a high protein content. You will also get to taste fresh green herbs such as mint, parsley and coriander that are used to make these frozen falafel kababs.

 Though traditionally they are deeply fried, you can shallow fry or air fry them if you want to give your guests a healthy and less greasy appetiser option. You can serve these falafel kebabs with hummus or other homemade dips or use them in sandwiches, wraps and mezze platters. You can serve a side of Bingo chips along with these falafel kebabs to further elevate this appetiser.

Remember that hosting a dinner party need not be a stressful event for you. Instead of slaving in the kitchen, buy frozen snacks and get enough time to socialise with all your guests. So, which of these appetisers is your favourite?
