While the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name Lohri is 'Sarson ka Saag' (mustard greens), if you want to do something new and exciting at your party this time, then this article is for you.

This Lohri party, don't just serve rewari and peanuts, but include these 10 amazing dishes. Believe us, your guests will be licking their fingers!

Pindi Chole
A Lohri party is incomplete without Punjabi flavors. The spicy and flavorful taste of Pindi Chole is loved by everyone. It's not made like regular chole, but with dry spices and tea water, which gives it a deep color and a unique taste. Serve it with bhaturas or kulchas.

Amritsari Kulcha
If you have Pindi Chole and not hot Amritsari Kulcha to go with it, then it's just not the same. The crispy kulcha stuffed with potatoes, onions, and spices, topped with a generous dollop of butter – this combination will be the highlight of your party.

Makki ke Kebab
Corn is a special grain for Lohri, so why not serve it in a new form? Crispy kebabs made with boiled corn, potatoes, and spices are a great option for a starter. Their taste is doubled when served with green chutney.

Dahi Bhalle
A little something cool and sweet, and sour with the meal makes all the difference. Soft bhalles made from urad dal, cool yogurt, and topped with sweet and sour tamarind chutney. This dish is not only delicious but also helps in digesting a heavy meal.

Methi Malai Matar
Fenugreek is very fresh during the winter season. If your guests are tired of eating regular greens, then serve them Methi Malai Matar. The richness of the cream and the slight bitterness of the fenugreek combine to create a wonderful taste that goes very well with naan.

Til Wale Aloo
Sesame seeds have special significance on Lohri. We usually eat sesame seed sweets, but this time, try making 'Sesame Potatoes'. Small potatoes are roasted and coated with white sesame seeds and spices. It's a delicious snack.

Dal Makhani
No North Indian party is complete without Dal Makhani. Black lentils and kidney beans are slow-cooked with butter and cream. Its creamy texture is loved by everyone, from children to adults.

Jaggery Rice
Eating jaggery is considered auspicious on Lohri. For dessert after the meal, jaggery rice is a traditional and tasty option. Adding fennel seeds and dry fruits will fill your home with their wonderful aroma.

Paneer Tikka
There's nothing quite like enjoying Paneer Tikka on a winter night, sitting by a bonfire. Paneer marinated in yogurt and spices is grilled or cooked in a tandoor. It's a starter that never disappoints.

Gajar ka Halwa
Finally, when it comes to sweets, the king of winter desserts is 'Gajar ka Halwa' (Carrot Halwa). Made with red carrots, khoya (reduced milk solids), milk, and plenty of dry fruits, this warm halwa will give your Lohri celebrations a sweet ending.
