Food is one of the best parts of Indian weddings, and there are tons of cuisines that you can try for the main course. But what about the appetizers? It’s time to say bye to those same boring munchies.
Why settle for boring when you can amaze your guests with fusion appetizers? When classic Indian flavors get a firangi twist, the result is finger-licking good.
Here are some fusion appetizers that can make your wedding menu the talk of the town:
Thai Samosa
Samosas are a staple evening snack of many Indians. However, this spin-off of the known dish will knock the socks off your guests, whether vegetarian or not.
The taste of the crispy outer layer of the samosa and the mixed vegetable stuffing cooked in Thai style will be the perfect start to a meal. Don’t forget the sweet chili sauce and mint chutney, which will add a twist to its taste.
Nacho, Cheese, and Dal Makhani
It is hard enough not to hate the Nacho and Cheese combo. However, when partnered with dal makhani as a dip, its taste gets leveled up manifold. Indian and Mexican flavors are compatible, and this fusion appetizer is the evidence.
You can choose the flavor of Nacho and set the spice level, considering your guests’ preferences.
Paneer Tacos
Here is another Indian-Mexican fusion dish that will blow your mind! Tacos are a delicious party snack, but they become irresistible with the spicy and flavorful paneer tikka.
Team it up with a yogurt-based dip to enhance the taste. You may use naan bread as the taco shell, but thin tortillas will not be bad.
Shrimp Tacos
If your wedding menu includes non-vegetarian dishes, this is a must-have. Shrimp cooked in butter, pepper, and garlic and freshly made tortillas are a match made in heaven.
To enhance the flavor, add guacamole and grated cheese. That’s it! Your guests will queue for it all evening.
Fish Kebabs
Enough of chicken kebab! Let your guest admire the Salmon, Bhekti, or Tuna’s limey and salty flavor. A coat of herb, garlic-infused butter, and green chutney makes it divine.
Sausage Stuffed Peppers
Baked peppers stuffed with veggies are often great for a light snack, but the taste becomes mouth-watering when the pepper is combined with the smoky, salty taste of sausages. With gooey cheese on top and some crispy bacon, your stuffed pepper will sweep your guests off their feet.
Onion Rings
Onion fritters are the snacks anyone expects to see in the appetizer section. However, you can substitute the fritters with crunchy, slightly sweet, and savory onion rings. Sprinkle chaat masala and let your guests’ taste buds yell in joy.
Conclusion
Indian weddings are more than just weddings—they celebrate tradition. But, when it comes to food, fusion dishes are taking the menu by storm, sidelining the traditional dishes. Adding fusion appetizers to the wedding menu is an excellent way to present traditional Indian flavors with a tasty twist.
It is the perfect way to impress your guests while ensuring a unique culinary experience. Therefore, if you decide on your wedding food, ask your planner to introduce some delightful fusion appetizers to spice up the wedding menu.
