SLC26-W3 // "Savoury Appetizers

I am here to participate in Steemit Learning Challenge Season 26 Week 3 by @suboohi in this week with the theme of Savory Appetizers, their spices, their cooking, and one of the food recipe. I invite @m-fdo , @senehasa, @jyoti-thelight .

What do you understand by Savory Appetizers?

As a social creature I often attend and throw parties so if I want I can buy startes from the places specially catering in these items making hosting easy with these snacks. But to be frank I know how to make such starters but your lesson has taught me a few more tricks.

But as I said, I am a vegetarian by choice even if you want to laugh that a Punjabi could be a vegetarian however I am one on request of my most loved one so I try different such starters especially the savory appetizers that guarantee to impress and satisfy my lovely guests.

I love these recipes and when someone as expert as you taught such a simple and delicious one I wanted to go back to be a nonvegetatian way. But alas, my most loved one is still with me so I am posting this vegetarian one.

I have been reading you recipes over the weeks but did not find any that I could chip in. Your recipe is non vegetarian but as you have allowed to use our own ingredients I am taking a chance with a vegetarian Savory Appetizer, which I believe is a food recipe that is most popular among vegetarians.

I am presenting this Appetizer which is a perfect savory dish served before the main course and set the tone for the culinary experience with an increased appetite of the gathering.

As you said, I will show you one of my favorite appetizer with required ingredients and present in detail how I made it in my kitchen.

As you taught we have different appetizers like hot, cold, fried, baked, savory, finger etc. I will present:

Savory Appetizer Veg Fried Balls

I will try to present my "Savory Appetizer" in my own style yet try to keep it close to how you taught it in your lesson. I hope it will give you a different experience yet the bite-size of this foods has a great flavor, texture, and aroma and it will increase your appetite and leave you craving for more.

You have shared two delicious recipes and you want us to make any one which I like with the same recipe or the recipe that I like.

Here I'm making BBQ style Veggie Roll Recipe which could be frozen Veggie Chips Recipe, BBQ style or deep fried but the one I am presenting is deep fried party appetizer and as crunchy as BBQ besides it saves time. The one I have chosen is a delicious stir fried recipe made from mixed rolls.
