Instructions
Preparing Meat
- Apply Baking soda, vinegar on the meat and add water
- Leave it for half hour and wash it thoroughly. This step will remove all kind of smell from meat and it will make it clean
Marination
- Grind all the spices mentioned in ingredients "For Marination" except for lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, olive oil and yogurt
- Apply the spices over the meat and add lemon juice, ginger and garlic paste to it. Mix thoroughly and let it marinate for 2 hours
- Now add yogurt and olive oil and mix thoroughly again. Let it marinate more. If you marinate it overnight it would give you best results
Tips for Making fire in grill
- Its one of the most tricky part in doing Barbecue . Using Kerosene Oil or petrol is not advisable to burn coals as it is dangerous and it leaves behind specific smell that will also be accumulated in your prepared meat
- Take your grill/ Angeethi to an open and airy space. Make two to three balls out of old news papers and place them over the grill. Now take thin and smaller pieces of coals and place them on top of the news paper.
- Now burn the news papers from multiple sides and let it burn for a while. When you observe the fire is dying out then blow air over it. For best results you can use your hair dryer/blower. When you feel that fire is again started then stop blowing air and let the fire burn the coals. Repeat the step if fire dies out
- Add bigger chunks of coals over the burning coals. Start tapping the burning coals so that they break down. when all coals burn out to small pieces of whitish and orange color, your coal is ready.
- At this stage make sure the heat only escapes from top and not from sides.
- To check the Optimum Temperature to slowly cook your BBQ, place your hand on the height of skewers, count for five seconds and if on fifth seconds your hand can't handle the heat then that's the best temperature to slow cook your Barbecue
Griling
- Skew the marinated meat over skewers in such a manner that they don't slip when you twist the skewers. Skew the meat length wise.
- Place the skewers over the grill and brush with oil
- After few minutes flip the skewers and brush again
- After few minutes repeat the above steps
- Keep on flipping till both sides are done. Be patient, don't grill them over high flame, on lower heat it will take time but the results would be best
- Serve hot with Naan, salad and chutni
