"Everything-Free" Starter

[Em2121]

Hi -

I have friends coming round for dinner. Am doing Manchurian fish and a a spinach daal for a main and need a starter that's...

• no meat or seafood - fish is fine but I have that in the main
• vaguely Indian in style
• wheat free
• cows milk free
• nut free

Any ideas? I had thought a summer soup, maybe a pea one with a bit of cumin in...

Gluten free onion bhajis?

Hummus made without the tahini? - crudités
Bhajis/fritters made with gram flour instead of wheat flour?

Why not just do lots of popadoms, with raita, mango chutney, lime pickl, onion salad and maybe some cauliflower pakoras (made with gram flour).

Great ideas thank you ladies! I haven't done many dinner parties before and for some reason am a bit anxious even though these are really good friends :-) am actually doing a practice run tonight! x
