Cream cheese sandwich bites make for a quick and tasty snack for kids and adults alike. Plus these can be easily customized to suit your needs. Perfect for parties, gatherings or potlucks!
Hi everyone!
It’s been a while since I last blogged. I had a lot of things going around, which included shopping gifts for our relatives in India. It had been a year and a half since we last visited. We also visited London, for my Brother in law’s daughter’s christening. I also happen to be her Godmother, so I wanted to meet that little bundle of joy. Such a sweet munchkin she is!! Miss her already 🙁
After a lot of thought and weighing out the pros and cons, I switched to a self-hosted site. Not knowing what I was getting myself into. There are a lot of issues yet to be resolved, it’s like a never-ending chore. Amidst my vacation, with practically no time for the blog settings, it felt like forever!! I’ve missed all your posts and hope to catch up soon 🙂
Wow, it’s extremely humid here in Mumbai, and the change in weather is quite exhausting. I just hope the Rain God’s are generous with the monsoons this time here!
Today I have a very simple and quick snack to share with you guys! Cream cheese sandwich bites with a twist of sweet chili sauce in it. I love that sauce, and love the subtle sweet-spicy flavor it lends to these sandwiches along with the crunch from the veggies for some texture. These are so good as a snack/appetizer to serve at a party, I assure you these will be gone in no time.
You can also serve this as a cream cheese dip instead along with some chips, crackers, vegetable sticks etc. Or grill it and enjoy as a grilled cream cheese sandwich .
For a healthier version or cream cheese alternative, simply replace cream cheese with Greek yogurt/hung curd in this recipe. If you don’t mind the calories, use mayonnaise instead :p
This a small batch recipe, since I made it just for us. You can easily multiply this recipe for a large crowd.
These are good as it is, but you can increase the flavor by using coriander chutney/pesto or any other spread on one slice of bread. Feel free to use whatever veggies you have at hand.

Recheado masala chicken drumsticks are a quick and delicious appetizer, that doesn’t require a lot of ingredients. You only need the popular Goan recheado masala paste and some salt to marinate the chicken, which is then grilled to perfection!
Howdy guys!
I’m back after another mini vacation from Goa! It was more of a hectic vacation, meeting relatives and shopping for all the spices and other foodstuffs to carry back home.
Since I’m back from Goa, it’s only apt I share something from the region- Rechaedo masala chicken drumsticks. Although recheado is mostly used as a marinade for fish and other seafood in Goa, I learned about using it for poultry from my Mum in law.
And let me tell you, it complements chicken very well too, especially if the marinade is left overnight. I’ve already shared the recipe of Recheado masala earlier, in case you missed it, you can find it here 🙂

INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE RECHEADO MASALA CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS
- Wash and pat dry the chicken drumsticks well. Apply salt and rub over all the drumsticks, now add the Recheado masala paste, coat it well all over the chicken. Cover and let it marinate for a couple of hours or overnight for best results.
- Grill the chicken drumsticks or fry them on a heavy bottom skillet until cooked through. Serve with salad and some lemon wedges. Enjoy!
NOTES
- Instead of drumsticks, you may use chicken breasts/tenders or thighs too. Marinate the chicken with recheado masala for a tender and juicy chicken.
