Wondering how to give your dad a super cool surprise on Father’s Day? How about kicking off the celebrations with a hearty spread? This time around, ditch the clichéd gifts and instead cook a delicious meal for him or along with him. Here’s how you can pamper your foodie dad. 

For fitness freaks

For dads whose sole aim is to sweat it out, give him a healthy and protein-packed punch. Vegetable sandwiches, spinach and egg bakes, luscious French toasts, smoothies and ultra-decadent pancakes will surely make your father dig right in the breakfast spread! And don't forget plenty of dad’s favourite tea and coffee!

For biryani lovers

Is your father a biryani lover? Since special days require extra special cooking, pamper your father silly by cooking chicken dum biryani. Cook this versatile one-dish meal with a spoonful of love. Pair the aromatic and flavourful rice with spiced chicken or meat. 

For those who love to grill 

Bring out the tandoor and rustle up Ghar ka fast food for your father by grilling succulent meats. Grill chicken breasts marinated in a flavourful homemade sauce. Or how about some chicken seekh kebabs and tikkas bursting with tempting flavours of red chilli, ginger-garlic and pepper? Serve with a generous helping of golden brown onion rings, tomato ketchup or mint chutney. For more such kebab and tikka flavours, visit Godrej Yummiez.

For pizza lovers

Margherita pizza (think fresh tomatoes and mozzarella cheese) is quite simple. The bottom line is to be creative with toppings. Add chicken tikka with sliced apples and rocket leaves - the sweetness of the apple contrasts with the peppery taste of the leaves and Chicken. For vegetarian options, create a veggie feast in the form of toppings like paneer nuggets, herbs and mozzarella cheese. 

For those with a sweet tooth

No celebration is complete without a sweet dish. For all the dads that love to indulge in the sweet stuff, celebrate the special day with a few sugary treats. How about some quick and easy luscious lemon pudding, caramel custard or silky sundaes with whipped cream? If nothing else, go for the regular Gajar Ka Halwa or mango ice cream or rice kheer.
