Interesting concoctions, salads, appetisers and a delightful meal — the table is set for you this weekend and Shilpa Bansal rolls out the menu of all that's cooking around town.
Delightfully appetising
A yummy appetiser is definitely a good start to a perfect meal. And keeping this in mind, Nando’s has come up with Appeteasers, an array of delectable appetisers that you can enjoy before delving into your chicken wings. As you wait for your chicken wings to arrive, indulge in chicken livers and the Portuguese roll.
The classic hummus with a dash of tangy peri-peri sauce gives a whole new twist to the chickpea dip, which you obviously can have with the warm pita. If you really love spice, the spicy mixed olives at Nando’s is a must have. It’s acidic, it’s tangy and it’s loaded with flavours. The roasted veg dip with spices and chillies and the spicy mixed olives also can be enjoyed with warm pita. Altogether, it’s pretty mouth-watering.
