It’s BBQ week! Which makes it the perfect excuse to bring out and fire up your barbi if you haven’t in a while. Invite your friends and get your family together – the weather is ideal and what could be more alluring than great barbecued food, chilled beers and quality time with loved ones?

we all have such wonderful experiences around the BBQ & tons of interesting tales to tell. Barbecuing is so much fun – besides the being out in the open and enjoying the sunshine, it involves everyone in the process and not the mention the food is… erm… smokin’!! I cannot remember a time we’ve not had a blast, whenever we’ve done a BBQ. We’ve burned food, we’ve clumsily dropped the food and we’ve argued endlessly over technique. Nevertheless, we’ve made some amazingly succulent kebabs and grilled whole fish and whole lot of other things. Above all we’ve made some amazing memories of great times spent together.

Here’s a video, which my husband and I shot recently for “The Urban Cook Show” on Zee Khana Khazana Channel. We’re making some lovely Grilled Nigerian Lamb Kebabs called “Suya” and sharing a few stories of our lives.

And going back to the recipe of the day … Tandoori Chicken is one of the easiest things to throw on the grill. A simple marinade of lime juice + salt for 30 mins and then, ginger garlic paste + minced green chills + red food color + tandoori spice mix. Marinate overnight and simply slather some ghee on top and grill it. Now those taste fabulous once grilled through, with that smokey, earthy flavour and spices kicking in, but if you have some leftovers, there is another brilliant thing you can do with them… A refreshing, crunchy, zingy salad! To make this a little interesting and more over ‘cuz I love a little crunch in my salad, I’ve made crispy chapatti strips. Given there’s no oil in this extremely healthy salad, I could afford to indulge a wee bit. It’s quite simple actually, you could substitute with whole wheat tortillas if you don’t make chapattis/rotis at home. Fancy doing something a bit more experimental with your BBQ? We came across this post which we thought had some great recipes to try out !
