Easy but Awesome Starters

Easy, Simple Starters Recipes, Indian  Simple Starters Recipes. Although some of you might consider starters as an optional course of the meal, nobody can deny the fact that they bring in an element of fun and excitement, and set the mood and pace for the upcoming meal. We might not plan to have starters for everyday meals, but any special occasion, be it a party or a festive celebration is absolutely incomplete without starters.

Starters are meant to be visually and gastronomically appetizing. They are served with attractive garnishes and often with a selection of salads and chutneys. The splash of colours and the attractive forms in which the starters arrive make the diners eager to taste some!

1. Starters must ideally be sized small and handy like malai paneer chilli flake balls, so that it is easy to serve without fussing with forks and knives. Moreover, when multiple starters are served, a small sized serving ensures that the diners are able to taste all the starters comfortably without becoming full in the first course itself!

2. Grilled mushrooms | Fortunately, starters need not always be complicated and time-consuming. Many starters can be prepared easily and quickly, with minimal ingredients. In fact, they must be kept simple and quick so that they can be prepared hot and fresh just before serving like grilled mushrooms. Most starters will lose their vibrant colours and crispy textures when prepared earlier. So, pick starters that are simple to prepare yet tasty, like the ones shown here.

3. Cheese balls : Some starters are deep-fried, while others are baked. If you have somebody to help you, go for deep-fried starters like Cheese Balls.

Else, if you are hosting a small party alone, pick baked ones, so that you can pop them into the oven and get ready to welcome your guests. When they are settled, the starters will also be ready.
