Moonlit Mutton ~ Chicken Teriyaki ~ Barbecue Style

When the family and friends get over....its more than just fun...its cacophony??a bunch of hooligans?? We are a gang of absolutely crazy people...is what our neighbours would have most definitely thought. It was a Friday night and we thought we'd get together and do a barbecue. Chintu and Binoy, I say without you guys it wouldn't have been possible. Ratish, your the man for having brought the actual kit all the way from home (from my inlaws place)...Meera gurl my lil sis I must say thanks for being a help throughout and of course all the rest for having come and made the rest of the evening a definite blast!!

Barbequed Plantains

The first night of our vacation in Kuwait, my mom had the barbecue all set in celebration of her grand child visiting her. Of course we had chicken and sausages being char coaled, we had plenty of fire that we thought we'd barbecue the plantains too. You wouldn't want them rotting away. Mum said in her childhood days, barbecued plantains were a regular at her house using smoked coconut husks.

Ingredients:
Ripe Plantains - 1kg
Aluminum foil

Tightly wrap aluminum foil around each plantain and barbecue the plantains on the grill for 15-20minutes till well cooked. Unwrap the foil and enjoy the simple delectable musa with some sugar or honey.
