Simple recipe ideas for Christmas party guests

If you are entertaining this Christmas (or in the very long run-up to Christmas!), why not try one of these delicious Indian-inspired easy party recipes to mix things up a bit?  Family friendly and a bit different, your guests won't want to leave!

Spiced Nuts

These are incredibly easy to make and incredibly delicious and moreish! When we take these as samples to events, we have to stop people taking away handfuls!

They also make a gorgeous little food gift to take to your host. Put them in a pretty jar with a label and your have a thoughtful, foodie gift.

Pea and Potato Samosas

A family favorite, fill these simple samosas with any filling you like. Make the filling in advance so that you just need to stuff the pastry on the day of the party.  These are also clever way to use up your Christmas turkey and vegetable leftovers.

Mini Chicken Coronation Pies

A bit more work for a crowd, but these make a lovely little starter or party nibble.  Again, make the filling in advance.  The recipe uses cooked chicken, but fill these will your leftover Christmas turkey for a pretty snazzy Boxing Day pie!

Wishing you all happiness and fun over Christmas!
