It's that time of year again and the outdoors is the place to be. So fire up the barbecue and practice your tong-wielding skills. I have a whole heap of yummy barbecue food recipes for you to try.
Thanks to world-famous Tandoori Chicken, Tandoor (clay oven) foods have come to prominence. There is nothing to beat the lovely smokey flavor cooking in a Tandoor creates in foods. From breads to Kababs and curries, there's a lot you can cook Tandoori style.
Most people, even in India, don't have a Tandoor in their backyard! This doesn't mean you still can't enjoy the delights of Tandoori style cooking. It is because very few of us have access to a Tandoor, that all my recipes have been written with instructions for cooking in an oven or on the grill or barbecue. Unless you cook over coals you may not get the legendary smokey flavor but all these foods will still taste just as delicious. Here are some recipes...
- Naan
- Chicken Tikka
- Chicken Tikka Masala
- Tandoori Paneer Tikka
- Seekh Kabab (pictured)
- Reshmi Kabab
- Bihari Kabab

If you're anything like me, the mere mention of sweets and desserts is enough to make you drool!
A lot of people think that because I write about food, I love to cook it ALL the time! Can't be further from the truth. While stirring up a delicious meal for my family and friends and then watching them devour it gives me great pleasure most of the time, I too have my off days when the sight of the kitchen makes me want to turn and run!
If like me you have more jobs to do than hours in your day, you know what I mean by the words 'meal in one'. You've got to eat, you don't have all day to cook, so what do you do? Cook something that is yummy enough to stand alone but is wholesome and satisfying and not too hard to prepare!
