Notes
Make sure to chop the veggies really fine. You do not want big chunks of veggies when eating these canapes.
Also make sure that the veggies are chopped almost the same size for even cooking.
You can use tomato paste instead of ketchup.
Kitchen king masala adds a beautiful flavor to this spicy veggie dip. But feel free to sub with garam masala.
Feel free to use Ritz crackers or pita chips or any of your favorite salted crackers as the base.
Veggie mixture for the topping can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Microwave until hot before serving.
Assemble the veg canapes just before serving to ensure that the crackers remain crisp.
Instead of topping the crackers with the veggie mixture, you can serve it on the side for everyone to help themselves.
To make vegan canapes, omit the grated cheese or use vegan cheese instead.
