Simply bake the meatballs in an oven till they are soft and juicy and then pour sweet and sour sauce onto the meatballs. Or you can make a dip with equal parts of coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chili, yogurt, and salt to taste. Then serve both separately. It's simple and quick.

Start off by chopping carrots, red onions, cabbage strands, garlic cloves, asparagus, and zucchini and transfer into a large bowl. Add salt, 1 tbsp. olive oil, 1-2 tsp. vinegar, and a pinch of marjoram. Mix well so that the vegetables are coated with all the spices. Then put into an oven and bake for 40 minutes at a temperature of 350 ºF. Ready to serve.

Cut cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, onions, lettuce leaves, and cabbage strands and put them in a bowl. Now, add salt, olive pieces, and any salad dressing of your choice over it. If you like the sour taste more, you can add a little olive water to it as well. Simply toss and have it fresh. This makes for a perfect side dish.

Poppadom is an Indian flattened bread that is similar to nachos, but thinner and comes with a distinct taste. It comes in different flavors like garlic and cumin. All you do is toast the flat poppadom on a low flame till they are roasted. They can be slightly pungent so make sure that you taste this first before taking it to the potluck meet.

In a separate bowl, cut fine pieces of tomato, onions, and coriander leaves, and add salt, lemon juice, and chili powder to it. Mix well and keep separately. When it is time to serve, just spread this mix over the poppadom and eat. This has to be done right before you eat it or else the spread will make the bread soggy.

Collect about 16-18 yolks and then add mayonnaise, cheese, chives, mustard, relish, and salt to them. Put them in a food processor and blend well till smooth. Now, take a spoon and place a scoop in each egg half. Garnish with sauce or paprika.

Use these potluck ideas and when a good one has been reached upon, you can just get on with the potluck invitation and stop the worrying.
