The celebrated American humorist Mark Twain once remarked- To eat is human, -to digest divine. Kebabs, rightly prepared and served with the right chutneys, are not only tasty, they are easily digestible too. Kebabs originated from Turkey and evolved into the food for connoisseurs. India is home to a vast variety of kebabs that are cooked in a tandoor, an open iron grill, shallow-fried or deep-fried, or cooked on a griddle. Of these, tandoori kebabs are by far the most popular. The taste and food-value of then kebab depends on the succulence or freshness of the tender meats, fish or vegetables, the size, marination and the right degree of cooking. Each preparation has a distinct taste because of the different texture of meats and the varying fragrance of the different combinations of spices used in the marination.When a piece of meat is plunged into a hot tandoor, where the temperature is out 400 degrees Celsius, the outer portion of the meat is roasted to a kind of a seal that keeps the vital juice inside the meant when the cooking process is on at a steady 180 degrees Celsius. Whether it is seekh kebab, tandoori chicken or fish tikka, vegetable kebab or paneer tikka,or even the whole leg of a baby lam, it is the succulence of meat, the retention of juices in a piece of dry cooked meat that is the essence of the mastery of tandoori cooking.This book gives the reader an indepth knowledge of the intricacies and finesse that is the basic of a wide variety of mouth-watering kebabs of Indian cuisine.ContentsKebabs, Chutneys& BreadsAcknowledgementsA Word About RecipesIntroductionCookery TermsWeights and MeasuresCHICKENMurg Dalcha KebabMurg Jeera TikkaMurg Saunfiya TikkaMurg Anmol MotiMurg Ke ParcheyChandni KebabMurg Paras KebabSurkh Lal Murg TikkaMurg Toofani TikkaMurg Khatta MeethaMurg Kashmiri KebabAchari Murg TikkaMurg Banjara TikkaPotli KebabTandoori Bharwan TangriMurg Nasheela TikkaMurg Chopatti TikkaRogani Murg TikkaMurg Jahangiri TikkaMurg Methi TikkaChandi Murg TikkaGulabi Murg ShashlikMurg Tikka Hari MirchiChatpata Murg TikkaMurg Haryali TikkaMurg Tikka ChettinadMurg Elaichi TukraMurg Anarkali TikkaReshmi Murg TikkaKasoori Murg TikkaMurg Malai KebabMurg Banarasi BhidhaSzechwan Murg KebabTandoori Murg PeshawariTandoori Murg FrontierTangri Til WaliMurg Ke SooleyHaryali Chooza KebabMurg Seekh NuraniNawabi Kalmi KebabTandoori Murg IraniMurg-A-PaLazeez Bharwan Murg SeenaTandoori BaterPankhari KebabReshmi Seekh KebabMissi Masala SeekhSangam Seekh KebabDhuandhar Reshmi KebabMurg Kalonji SeekhMurg Methi Seekh KebabLAMB KEBABSGosht Pudina ChopPasanda KebabAdraki ChampenChamp-E-LucknowiHussani Tandoori ChampenMaas Ke SooleyTandoori Boti ShashlikRajasthani Boti KebabKakori KebabSeekh Gilafi Noorani SeekhSeekh KebabSunehri Tandoori AndaShammi KebabSikhampuri KebabMuthiya KebabGalouti KebabRaan Patiala ShahiSEAFOODDariya Ka RatanSamundari ManthanTandoori LobsterKasoori JhingaTandoori PomfretSamundari SherJhinga AdrakiJhinga NishaTandoori Lal Moti TikkaJalpari KebabTandoori TroutMahi Tikka AjwainiSarson Wali MachhliJugal Bandi Seekh KebabMahi GulmargTandoori Machhli MasalaHaryali Mahi TikkaTandoori Methi MachhiAmritsari Machhli KebabKhatti Meethi MachhliGulabi Mahi TikkaVEGETARIAN KEBABSTandoori Bharwan PaneerTandoori Paneer PatakaDoranga Paneer TikkaPaneer Tikka KalimirchAchari Paneer TikkaKasoori Paneer TikkaTiranga Paneer TikkaSikandari Paneer ShashlikKhatta Meetha Paneer TikkaLahori Paneer TikkaReshmi Paneer SeekhTandoori Hari GobhiNoorani KebabLahsuni Paneer TikkaHare Matar Ke Shammi KebabSubz Galouti KebabTandoori PyazTandoori Subz ShashlikBharwan Phool GobhiTandoori Achari KhumbSurkh Lal Tandoori AlooTandoori Bharwan TamatarBharwan Aloo FirdausiButta Seekh KebabShimla Mirch NishatNargisi Seekh KebabKacche Kele Ka KebabArbi Ke KebabKabuli SeekhKandhar Ke Seekh KebabKale Chane Ke KebabSeekh Subz BaharKathal Ka KebabTandoori Chaat-E-ChamanKhumb GaloutiKhumb ShashlikKhus Ke Shammi KebabBihaneri Seekh KebabDahi Ke KebabLauki Ki SeekhAloo Moti TikkaKhumb Ke Seekh KebabHara Bhara Shammi KebabTutty Fruity SeekhNadru KebabCHUTNEYSPudina & Dhania ChutneyMooli Dahi Ki ChutneyLahsun Mirch Ki ChutneyTamater ChutneyMoongphali Ki ChunteyTil ChutneySarson ChutneyNariyal ChutneyPudina Dahi Ki ChutneyPiaz Ki ChutneyTamater Piaz Ki ChutneyDakshini Hari ChutneyNariyal Ki ChutneyAam Ki ChutneySaunth (Meethi Chutney)ROTIS (BREADS)Tandoori Paneer KulchaRogani KulchaTandoori Pyaza KulchaTandoori Keema KulchaNaanKhurmi NaanLahsuni NaanKhasta RotiBajre Ki RotiMissi Ki RotiMissi RotiMakki Ki RotiTandoori RotiRoomali RotiHari Roomali RotiMethi Tawa RotiBattiPooriSheermalBakarkhaniTawa ParanthaMalabari ParanthaTawa Dal ParanthaPudina ParanthaAloo Ka ParanthaPaneer Ka Tawa ParanthaGobhi Ka Tawa ParanthaMooli Ka Tawa ParanthaMethi ParanthaPalak ParanthaBhaturaKhasta KachoriTaftanVarqi ParanthaUltey Tawe Ka ParanthaThe Spice of LifeBasic Kitchen EquipmentGaram Masala (King of Spices)Marinades TenderizersPastesGlossary
