Looking for an easy-to-make appetizer for Halloween? These Falafel Witch Fingers are your perfect bet!
I don't think Halloween is popular in India. Not even once have I celebrated it or attended a Halloween themed party. Of course, I can't even think about attending one because I go crazy at the slightest mention of anything spooky. Having said that, I have seen Annabelle, Insidious and Ring among many others and also read spooky books. But what follows is sleeping with the lights on and asking the husband to stand right outside the washroom while I do my business. Did I just say that? Argh!
Anyway, the first time I ever heard about Halloween was on one of the 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' episodes. This was followed by 'Vampire Diaries' and costume themed parties. Bats, spiders, witches, brooms, and pumpkins are what comes to my mind when I think of Halloween.
Well, the husband is out-of-station and I decided to try out some Halloween themed finger foods and I came across many recipes on Pinterest. There were cocktails, cookies, deviled eggs among other party foods. Falafel Witch Fingers caught my attention because that looked creepy as hell!
How to make Falafel Witch Fingers
I have made Falafel before and the recipe was loved by many of you. I have used the same recipe here but shaped the patties into fingers. I had soaked almonds overnight and it was easy to peel during the time of assembling and garnishing.
| Find the recipe of FALAFEL here.
Once the finger-shaped falafels were deep fried (you can also bake them), the soaked almonds were peeled, split in half and placed as nails, and hot sauce was smeared for the blood effect.
Loved the idea? You must definitely try it out.
You may want to pin this for later.

As much as that looks spooky, it looks equally delicious. You are so amazing. I would eat all that in a blink. Not the almond though 😛
very creative and with that halloween theme, this is the best food picture I have spotted this year.
