3. Aloo Tikki Sliders

Aloo tikki sliders turn spiced potato patties into a familiar mini-sandwich that most kids will try. Mild seasoning keeps the flavours gentle; add a thin layer of ketchup or a mint-yoghurt dip to make them approachable. One slider per child is a good baseline for a party that has multiple dishes; provide two for older children. These are typically vegetarian and egg-free, but check burger buns for egg in certain commercial varieties and pick egg-free bakery options when needed. For nut-allergy safety, avoid peanut chutneys and use seed-based spreads or plain yogurt. Make the tikkis ahead and reheat briefly in an oven to keep them crisp. Assemble sliders just before serving so the buns stay fresh. Present sliders on a long board with colourful napkins or use mini toothpicks with themed toppers to make them camera-ready.
