How to Cook Delicious Pakistani Food
Pakistan is one of the largest poultry producers in East Asia, providing an abundance of tasty and inexpensive protein to its people. Chicken has become an important staple of the Pakistani diet as evidenced by the many recipes built around the poultry. Pakistani food tends to be full of flavor and very spicy. One of their favorite chicken recipes is Chicken Kebab.
Things you will need:
- 1 4-pound whole chicken
- 1 8-ounce package of yogurt
- 5 garlic cloves (minced)
- A sprinkle of ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- A sprinkle of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon chili pepper
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 spray bottle of water
- Grill
- Charcoal
- Remove all of the chicken parts from the body cavity. Wash the chicken thoroughly, and set it aside to dry. Cut off all fat from the chicken so that it will not catch on fire while grilling. Cut the chicken in long chunks for the kebabs.
- Combine the yogurt, minced garlic cloves, ground cloves, cumin, cinnamon, salt, paprika, and chili pepper together to create a marinate. Place the chicken pieces in a plastic freezer bag and pour the marinate over them. Make sure that all of the chicken is covered in the marinate. Place in the refrigerator all day to soak. Turn the chicken pieces three or four times during the day, so that the marinate will be well absorbed.
- Remove the chicken from the marinate. Dispose of the remaining marinate.
- A charcoal fire will do to barbecue. After the coals are suitably heated, place the chicken on the grill. Turn the pieces over often to keep the meat from burning. If the fire blazes up during the cooking process, keep it under control with a shot of water from the spray bottle so that meat is not burned.
- It will take about forty-five minutes for the barbecue chicken kebab to be ready to eat.
