Pigs in a blanket? Potato salad? Deviled eggs? Been there, done that. It’s time to swing into a new fusion of flavor and add the delicacies of India to any picnic. Give any feast a taste of the East. Little India of Denver has plenty of delectable appetizers to whet the palette and spice up any gathering. Here are some appetizers that we recommend you bring or pick up from any of our three locations.
Gluten Free Samosas
Crispy and flakey, samosas are always a crowd-pleaser. There is plenty to share and you can serve them with our scrumptious sweet chutney. If you make them yourself, use fresh ghee and your favorite meat or mixed veggies.
Tandoori Wings
A satisfying twist on a popular picnic appetizer, our chicken wings are spicy, marinated, and baked in a clay oven. Infuse chicken wings at home with delicious tandoori.
Kebabs
Any meat on a stick is a party favorite and is easy to carry in your hand or keep on a plate next to some other sides. Try some marinated Bihari skewered beef, chicken reshmi, or paneer as a vegetarian option. All three could be a great variety with a side of yogurt chutney.
Momo
Everyone loves a great dumpling and Little India offers our special recipe of Indian-style dumplings with chutney. They are steamed, filled with minced meat like chicken, and are guaranteed to please. Try ours out for only $8.99.
Chicken Tikka
One of the best appetizers India has to offer. Chicken tikka combines marinated chicken in coriander, masala, and ginger paste then threading them on skewers. It is delicious finger food and everyone loves putting meat on sticks. Chicken tikka is a surefire delight.
Pakoras
Made with chicken or vegetables, pakoras are fritters that are fried in the dough until crispy and enjoyed as a party snack. We have a vegetable or chicken pakora for 6.99 and 7.99 respectively. Add a little crisp to any picnic.
Coconut Shrimp
Another tasty seafood and gluten free option, these are easy to grab and pop. Made with korma sauce and coconut. Make them spicy if you want and have some chutney available to dip.
Onion Bhaji
We have crunchy onion bhaji for $6.99 and it is a fantastic cousin to American onion rings. Crispy, battered, and fresh, this snack has layers of culinary goodness.
Vada Pav
Vada Pav is a wonderful veggie option that anyone will snap right up, meat-eater or not. Vada Pav is a potato patty in a bun seasoned with garlic, turmeric, curry, and other spices. Handheld and bite-size.
Naan and Dip
Who doesn’t love a scrumptious, gluten-free naan or chapati bread to dip? Warm, crispy flatbread laid out to scoop into Punjabi eggplant or pyaaz ki chutney is an incredible option and will never be turned down anywhere you bring it.
