Topic: Exciting new starters?

[Razor]

Hi Guys,

Does any of you have a recipe for a tasty new starter?  I'm sorted with samosa, seekh kebabs, pakora onion bhaji and so on but I'm looking for something different.

Not too interested in veg based starters or sides such bhindi bhaji or bombay aloo but something different.  Preferably meat or chicken based, even paneer at a push and something that I can pick up with my fingers rather then eat with a fork.

Can anybody help?

Ray,
These are worth a try,
Chicken Keema Lahore Kebabs,
Given to me by Taz some time ago.....

500 grams of minced chicken
1 tablespoon of garlic/ginger paste
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of your preferred mix powder
4-5 very finely chopped Indian green chillies
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh Coriander

Mix all together and fridge for 2 hours to infuse flavours,
Then shape onto skewers or make into burgers,
Grill until cooked through,
Serve with a dipping sauce of tomato ketchup, smooth mango chutney, yoghurt, a little salt.

Cheers,
Mick
