Afghani BBQ, also known as “Kabuli Pulao,” is a delicious dish with tender, marinated meat grilled to perfection. Here’s a simplified recipe for Afghani BBQ:
### Ingredients:
– 1 kg of lamb, chicken, or beef (cut into chunks or cubes)
– 1 cup plain yogurt
– 4 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
– Salt to taste
– Juice of 1 lemon
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– Skewers (if grilling)
### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the marinade:** In a bowl, mix yogurt, minced garlic, minced ginger, ground coriander, ground cumin, black pepper, paprika, turmeric, salt, lemon juice, and vegetable oil until well combined.
2. **Marinate the meat:** Place the meat in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
3. **Preheat the grill:** If you’re using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If you’re using an oven, preheat it to 400°F (200°C).
4. **Skewer the meat:** If you’re grilling, thread the marinated meat onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
5. **Grill or bake the meat:** Grill the skewers over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has a nice charred exterior. If you’re baking, place the skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through.
6. **Serve:** Once the meat is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with rice, salad, and your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
Enjoy your delicious Afghani BBQ!
