Tandoori Canapes

A mad recipe trial which turned into an amazing appetizer!!

This canape is a perfect example of fusion food. Traditionally a cracker or small slice of bread or toast or puff pastry cut into various shapes, serve as the base for savory butters or pastes, often topped with a savory foods such as meat, cheese, fish, caviar, foie gras, purees or relish. Because they are often served during cocktail hours, it is often desired that a canape be either salty or spicy, in order to encourage guests to drink more. Similarly, Indians love tandoori food with drinks so I fused tandoori flavor with canapes.

A perfect munching with drinks, an appetizer and a snack for parties this recipe is a must try. Recently our short reels video also got featured by Instagram which crossed 15 million plays.(https://www.instagram.com/reel/CCvw0_YFuZJ/?igshid=jd1z251wzprm) and this made me sit and draft this amazing recipe. Give it a try and share your tandoori canapes story with me in comment section.
