11 Delicious Beer Dishes You Need In Your Life

Not that it happens often (because beer is too awesome to not consume all of it one sitting along with some delectable chakhna), but when you have a little bit of it left and don’t know what to do with it, or if you just want to get a little creative and experimental in the kitchen, you can use it to make some simple recipes that have a nice, alcoholic twist that will surely please your taste buds. Why beer? Because it adds interesting flavours to food.

All you have to know is the kind of beer to use (which isn’t too difficult), and you’re set to make some delicious starters, main courses, and desserts.

1. Beer and Yogurt Chicken Tikka

Give your regular chicken tikka a twist. Marinate the chicken pieces in a mixture of beer and dahi (along with other spices), and grill them to crisp perfection. Find the recipe here.

 

2. Beer Battered Mushroom Pakoras

Instead of using just besan or maida to make pakoras, whisk in some beer to make a pourable (but not too runny) batter, dip in the mushrooms, and fry them well. Here’s the recipe.

 

3. Beer Pani Puri

Vodka Pani Puris are popular and tried out by a lot of people. Simply change the alcohol you’re using to anything (including beer), and have delicious chaat with a twist. Find the recipe here.

 

4. Beer Battered Onion Rings

Just like the way we make mushroom pakoras, take the spicy beer batter and mix it up with carefully peeled and round onion rings. Don’t forget to serve them with yummy ketchup or a nice dip! Here’s the recipe.

 

5. Beer Battered Fish Pakoras

Fried fish tikkas are a yummy starter for all occasions. Make them using the beer batter and serve them with dip, and some yummy french fries. Find the recipe here.

 

6. Chicken Korma with Beer

A main course with juicy chicken breast cut into thin slices, made using all things Indian. Add beer while you’re cooking it, and you’re good to go! Find the recipe here.

 

7. Beer Rice

All you have to do is cook your rice in beer instead of water. Rice cooked with beer is not lumpy, and tastes yum. Here’s the recipe.

 

8. Lamb and Beer Curry

Two things that complete a truly satisfying meal- some good meat accompanied by some awesome beer. Why not mix them together? Find the recipe here.

 

9. Beer And Choco-Chip Pancakes

Alcohol for breakfast is not a bad thing if you’re making wonderful pancakes with it. Find the recipe here.

 

10. Chocolate Stout Milkshake

Milkshake and alcohol. With chocolate. Heaven has a name, and it’s called Chocolate Beer Milkshake. You can also get creative with the ice-cream flavour you choose while making this. 🙂 Here’s the recipe.

 

11. Chocolate Beer Cake

A good meal always accompanies a nice dessert. Find the recipe here.

So what are you waiting for? Beer it on!
