Indian Starters: Small Bites, Big Flavours
A great Indian meal often begins with an exciting selection of starters. From crispy samosas to grilled paneer and flavourful chicken tikka, Indian appetizers offer a delicious introduction to the country’s incredible variety of flavours.
Indian starters are all about texture, aroma and bold seasoning. They can be crispy, grilled, spicy, tangy or simply packed with aromatic herbs and spices.
Popular Indian Starters to Try
Samosa
One of India’s best-known snacks, the samosa is a crispy pastry filled traditionally with spiced potatoes and peas. It is commonly enjoyed with fresh chutneys.
Paneer Tikka
Soft cubes of Indian cottage cheese are marinated with yogurt and spices before being grilled. The slightly charred edges and smoky flavour make paneer tikka a favourite vegetarian starter.
Chicken Tikka
Tender pieces of chicken are marinated in yogurt and aromatic spices before being cooked until lightly charred. It is a classic choice for anyone who enjoys grilled food.
Pakoras
Crispy fritters made with vegetables such as onions, potatoes or other seasonal ingredients are coated in a seasoned batter and fried until golden.
