There is nothing that can equal the joy of having your friends over for a fun-filled afternoon. Kitty parties are a common practice amongst ladies all over the world. Friends decide on a convenient date and get together at one person’s place, to enjoy delicious food and play games. It is a great opportunity for women to swap recipes and learn new skills like crochet or embroidery together with friends they are comfortable with.
Usually kitty parties are organized once a month or once in 15 days. While friends have now begun to meet each other at restaurants and party halls, in proper kitty party culture, the parties are usually held at somebody’s home because that comfortable home atmosphere is what makes it so much fun. While some people prefer to order food from a caterer, most women still prefer home-cooked treats for kitty parties because that is part of the fun! It is a time to show off your cooking skills and share easy kitty party recipes and quick kitty party recipes with friends. Sometimes, the host prepares all the required food with one or two friends popping in earlier to help. At other times, the party might be organized as a pot-luck, where each friend cooks and brings some sweets, sandwiches, snacks and drinks from their home.
If you are organizing a kitty party, then it is preferable to select dishes that are easy, tasty and filling so you can cook them fast and then focus on other preparations and spending time with friends. Sometimes, you can also use this opportunity to team up with close friends and try out some challenging recipe!

There are two things that add fun to kitty parties – lively chats and tasty chaats! With their peppy flavours and exciting textures, chaats are sure to excite everybody. What fun it is to recreate by yourself those wondrous delights that the roadside vendors prepare with such flair! Plus, chaat also provides a nice opportunity to work together with your friends. If you prepare all the required ingredients and keep them ready, your friends can help you to mix or assemble the tasty treats, contributing their own imaginative ideas and unique styles to it.
This kind of a do-it-yourself chaat party is much better than calling a chaatwala to make it for you. Not only is it more satisfying because you have cooked the stuff yourself, but it is also bound to be more hygienic, especially the water used. Your friends will also be appreciative of the idea. In fact, you can theme it as a Chaat Party.
Always keep the ingredients ready, so as to minimize work after your friends arrive. If you have some help in the kitchen, then you can choose deep-fried options, so that if you keep everything ready in advance your helper can deep-fry them before serving. If you don’t have help, avoid deep-fried choices because you will have to sweat in the kitchen instead of enjoying the party!

When you choose chaats for your kitty party, pick a mix of popular ones like Aloo Chaat and unusual ones like the Moong Sprouts and Potato Salli Chaat or Paan ki Chaat so that there will be an element of surprise in it. One or two of the chaats can be heavy like Stuffed Aloo Tikki Chaat, Chole Chole Samosa Chaat, Stuffed Ragda Patties or Lilva Kachori Chaat, so that the chaats will be kind of filling, like a meal by itself. You can also include some quick chaats like Pakodi Chaat, Mutter Chaat and Moong Dal Ki Chaat.
Just make sure all the chaats are nice and chatpata, because that is what chaat is all about! Of course, the interesting conversations that happen will add more spice to the food. So, enjoy every moment of your party.
