In the US, people like to have BBQ parties all the time. In Pakistan as well, special arrangements are made to cook BBQ for Eid. This is a commonality that we as citizens of earth share 🙂 Specially in summers, bbq equipment and tools are sold on special promotions and deals.

Keeping the tradition alive, we also got our b-b-q grill this season as Father’s Day gift to Ali. Here is our first recipe that we prepared 🙂

Preparation/Marination time: 6hrs to overnight
Cooking time: 30m
Serving: 2-4 persons

Recipe:

  • Mutton chops – 7 to 8 
  • Fried onion – 1
  • Ginger garlic paste – 1 tablespoon 
  • Mustard oil – 3 tablespoons 
  • Yogurt – 2tbsp
  • Salt – 1 teaspoon
  • Red chili powder – 1 teaspoon 
  • Chat masala – 1 teaspoon
  • Garam masala powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin – 1 teaspoon, roasted and grounded 
  • Coriander seeds – 1 teaspoon, roasted and grounded
  • Lemon juice – 1 
  • Papaya – 3 – 4 tablespoons, pureed

Method:

  1. Fry onions until golden brown and dry them on a kitchen paper towel. 
  2. In a bowl, mix yogurt with fried onion and all spices expect papaya paste.
  3. Add the prepared marinade in meat and mix it well. 
  4. Allow it to rest in fridge for at least 6 hours before cooking, for best results overnight 🙂 [ added the papaya paste 2 hrs before cooking into the meat, if added for a longer time the meat will get dry when it cooks].
  5. On a pre heated charcoal grill b-b-q for 20 – 25 mins or until well done.
