Well, Christmas Dinner Recipes are no longer a challenge to find really. All you have to do is decide what sort of cuisine you would like to focus on. Try a mix. Have some light poultry with a nicely baked potato dish, a cold salad, all finished with creamy hot beverages with cookies or then a luscious decorative dessert! And if it is a snack and dessert party (is fast becoming popular as more and more people are skipping main course), dwell a lot on research of starter recipes. For ideas I am going to suggest some recipes in all categories but today the focus is on starters.
Starters with chicken:
Fried Chicken Wings with Chilli Pineapple Sauce.
Bacon Rolled Mustard Chicken
Keema Samosa
Vegetarian options:
Asparagus Canapes
Cheese and Herb Patti Samosa
The best part of having finger foods is that you can base your whole menu around it. Have at least four or five starters if you are throwing a party. Count at least six-seven pieces per guest and once you know the segregation of vegetarians and non-vegetarians make the appropriate portions or numbers. When you serve them on platters (with toothpicks, dips, chutneys and paper napkins) do ensure that the platter holds a little flag saying the name or whether the dish has vegetarian or non vegetarian contents. It helps tremendously in being a gracious and thoughtful host/hostess. Be ready with a stack of small plates as even if one guest expresses his desire for one, more will quickly follow suit because eating from a plate is more convenient than managing with just toothpicks and napkins!
So as the mood is set to start planning your forthcoming Christmas Dinner or Party, do take some time off the start jotting down important notes!
