1- What do you understand by Savory Appetizers?

What I mean by Savory Appetizers is a delicious appetizer, usually served before the main course. Savory Appetizers are small dishes that are salty, spicy, or umami-flavored. The purpose of Savory Appetizers is to whet the appetite and prepare the palate for the main course. The main characteristic of Savory Appetizers is - they are usually salty, spicy, sour, and never sweet. Small portions are used for serving, bite-sized or easy to eat with fingers or a fork. The purpose of Savory Appetizers is to give guests a tasty start, awaken the taste buds, and set the tone for the meal. Examples of Savory Appetizers are: Spring Rolls, Mini Samosas, Cheese Balls, Chicken Wings, Stuffed Mushrooms, Kebabs or Skewers, Salsa Nachos.

Making meatball

Step 1:

• To make meatballs, I took 300 grams of boneless, fat-free beef. I washed and cleaned the beef thoroughly. Then I made mince with the help of a knife. Once minced, I put it in a bowl.

Step 2:

• Now I took coriander leaves, onion, green chillies for the meatball recipe. Then I washed them very well, cleaned them and chopped them finely. After cutting everything, I took it in a bowl.

Step 3:

• In a mixing bowl, I added chopped coriander leaves, chopped green chilies, salt, chili powder, red chili powder, chopped onion, and egg to the minced meat.

Step 4:

• I mixed all the ingredients very well with my hands. Once everything was mixed, I marinated it for two hours.

Step 5:

• After marinating the minced meat for two hours, I returned to cooking. Now I made small balls of meat and kept them in a bowl. I made all the balls with all the meat.

Step 6:

• Now, to fry the meatballs, I heated the oil in a pan on the stove. When the oil was slightly hot, I dropped the meatballs into the oil. The meatballs should be fried in the submerged oil.

Step 7:

• I fried the meatballs in hot oil until brown. Once fried, I drained the oil and placed them on a tissue to absorb the excess oil.

Step 8:

• The meatballs are ready to serve. I tried to give them a final look that I liked.

4-What should be the right portion of serving of appetizers?

The correct portion of appetizers served depends on the occasion and whether the appetizers are being served before a full meal or as the main focus of the event. If served before a full meal, about 3-5 small pieces are a good serving size for one person. If served as the main focus of an event or party, about 8-12 small pieces are a good serving size for one person. Appetizers are usually light and bite-sized, just enough to whet the appetite, not to fill the stomach before the main meal.
