5 creative finger foods for a kids' party
Hosting a children's party isn't tough. However, what makes parents indecisive is the choice of finger foods. Kids eat like birds and don't have the patience for a full meal but would happily munch on unhealthy fast food throughout the day. Wondering how to keep the kiddos satisfied and yet not harm their health? We have just the right list of recipes for you.
Salty biscuit sandwiches
Prepare a mashed potato filling. Add a spoonful of it to a salty biscuit. Add some chopped tomatoes, onions, a little slice of cheese, and close with another biscuit. Even out the sides of the filling and roll the sandwich sideways on a plate of sev. Prepare several of these little sandwiches and lay them out for a pretty display before serving.
Kathi fruit 'n cheese
Cut some strawberries in halves and set them aside. Cut mangoes into cubes and set them aside. Make small cubes from cheddar cheese, the same size as the mangoes. Now, get some skewers, and just like kebabs, add the strawberry, mango, grapes, and cheese in your choice of pattern. Refrigerate before serving. This is a very nutritious and tasty snack for kids.
Chocolate chikki
Dry roast almonds, pistachios, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds and chop them. Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out the chocolate evenly. Then, sprinkle the nuts and seeds. Lightly press them into the chocolate. Let it cool at room temperature and harden. Refrigerate for an hour and then break it into random pieces.
Onion rings
Separate round onion slices into rings and keep aside. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Coat the onion slices with the flour mixture. Now, add eggs and milk into the flour mix and whisk well. Dip the onion rings into the batter and then coat well with bread crumbs. Deep fry the rings until golden brown. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
Paneer fingers
This recipe is tasty, appealing to kids, and healthy. Cut paneer into long, thick strips. Prepare a cornflour slurry and beat some eggs in another bowl. Also, have some breadcrumbs on another plate. Dip the paneer in the slurry, next in eggs, then crumbs, and deep fry. For crispier fingers, dip in eggs once more and then in crumbs again before frying.
