3 Barbecue dishes to fire up cold & rainy days – Times of India
Corn on the cob
Bhutta or corn on the cob is almost synonymous with the rainy season. Go with the plumpest kernels for this one, remove the husks and simply place the corn on the grill. Keep turning them from one side to another to avoid burning. Once done, season well with a slice of lime dipped in salt and pepper or chaat masala and add some butter. Or just enjoy this plain. The soft hot kernels literally melt in your mouth.
Barbecued paneer
Here’s another hot snack that the family will love. To make tandoori paneer, first cut the paneer (cottage cheese) into cubes and keep aside. Take some curd in a bowl, whisk well till it is smooth and add spices to it such as ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, ajwain, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, some garam masala powder and rock salt. Mix this well and apply it to the paneer cubes. Marinate it for an hour in the fridge. Remove and skewer the pieces, along with red pepper and onion. Grill this for half an hour or until done (carefully turning the skewers every now and then). Remove and enjoy piping hot with green chutney and a wedge of lime.
Grilled pineapple
Hot, grilled pineapple looks as good as it tastes and can be the perfect add-on to any meal. It requires just a few basic ingredients you are bound to have in your kitchen – butter, pepper, honey and salt. Cut the pineapple into large round rings, and marinate in the mix above. Heat up the grill on low, and place the fruit on it. Grill the rings for a few minutes – once they turn slightly brown and grill marks appear on them, it should be done. Serve it hot.
