What to eat with your Gin & Tonic
A lovely selection of Indian inspired snacks that go perfectly with gin and tonic.
- Delicious little crisp vegetarian samosa bites, still warm from the oven – you can get the samosa bite recipe here.
- Quick chicken tikka skewers – make life easy, buy diced chicken breast, quickly fry it up into a pan, add a couple of spoonfuls of tikka curry paste, cook for around 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through completely – then skewer onto cocktail sticks and pile them up on a plate.
- Add some bowls of mini popadoms, alongside mango chutney, some freshly made mint raita (just stir natural yogurt with fresh chopped mint leaves and season with salt and pepper)
- Make up a little tomato and onion relish (just finely dice the tomatoes and onion, stir in lots of freshly chopped coriander and season with salt and pepper and a good squeeze of lemon juice – add in some chilli if you like things hot)
- Set out a few jars of Bombay mix or chilli nuts.
