These preparations take up less of your time than any other preparations. Throw together some tahini, olive oil and some salt; add some crushed chickpeas from a tin and you have yourself an enjoyable dip called hummus. To give it that real hummus taste you must add crushed garlic. This is a dip for everyone at your party and not just for your vegetarians. The easiest with this dip is that there is already bread and crisps for everyone.

For the vegetarian crisps, why not try some Kale or spinach chips. You simply fry your Kale in oil until they are crisp. Make sure your Kale has nice fleshy leaves. Be careful with the salt as these greens normally have their own salts. Again, you could leave the stems in and your guests could munch away while holding onto it. You could also make some lovely guacamole into which to dip your crisps.

Making flower fritters is not always on ones mind, but do try them out. The combination of the flower taste and the batter is a very satisfying experience.

Do not use cheese or cream to bind the filling, as not all vegetarians eat dairy products (even though they are not vegan).

Samoosas (or samosas are fried in deep oil so be careful to drain most of the oil away before you serve them. This you do by placing them on a paper towel after frying. These are Indian pastries in the form of triangles, with a filling. These pastries are available from your local supermarket in frozen form.

A very tasty filling is either potato or sweet potato. It is more stable than other vegetables that might fall out. However, you might want to use any vegetable for this purpose. The easiest is to buy frozen ones at the supermarket and all you have to do is fry them yourself until golden brown).
