On my KK I simply cook on the main grill, perhaps with a drip pan to control flareups. For example, chicken tandoor gets basted with ghee. You could baste my old hiking books in ghee after a spice marinade, and you'd swear that this updated Charlie Chaplin classic dish was best thing you ever ate. 7 hours ago, Jadeite said: did a quick google and this is one of THE books. Yes, once you see it you won't need anyone else telling you this, it will be your opinion too. It's a real, published in India masterpiece that makes no compromises but is nevertheless easy to execute if one has the spices. It's all about spice and marinade handling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite online used book sites had a copy of it in Canada (easy shipping to me) so after your post and my quick google I ordered it and it should be here on Thursday. I am very excited to get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BARDSLJR Posted April 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Getting back to leg of lamb, another technique is to butterfly it and grill over higher heat, and I think I may try this next time, as it would increase the surface-to-meat ratio and step up the lovely flavor of the garlic-rosemary (and maybe anchovy ) paste......which was really yummy on my recent roast.

Boneless leg from Porter Rd, so it was trimmed up nicely to start with. My house rub, with a bit of extra mint tossed in, made into a paste with Duke's mayo and shoved inside with a teaspoon, along with rubbing the outside. Rotisserie cook, with smoker pot of coffee and apple woods, 275F until rare (120F). Tony, How long did it take you to cook that I’m going to try it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 It was a 2.75lb leg. It was done in about 90 minutes, including the rest at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadeite Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 @SyzygiesTandoori chicken is one of my favourite dishes.. I love making it at home (and butter chicken as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARDSLJR Posted April 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Thanks, I have printed it out. It seems to me that the secret of all good Indian cooking is toasting the spices while they are in fresh form, grinding them, and using them immediately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I couldn't resist. For UK KK'ers - this book is on a number of sites for over £100.

BARDSLJR Posted April 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 My copy arrived yesterday, too, and the day before another lovely book on Tajines that looks really promising. This is a gorgeous book, by the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekobo Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Sneaky smart @Braai-Q. I know you are on a mission to get me to buy enough cookbooks to make up for “helping” you make the decision to keep two KKs (and move up to a 32?). You recommended this book to me a few months ago and I managed to resist temptation. Then you come on here and get the @Syzygies endorsement. That means you get the double win of bending forum members to your will and, maybe, just maybe getting me to shell out for yet another book. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't harbour grudges although I feel I should on the basis of not having scored an invite to pigfest yesterday!! I had a look at your cookbook collection yesterday pre-pig and was going 'got it, got got it, got it, ooo, not seen that, got it' so I have my work cut out to find books you don't have! Don't buy it @tekobo, I shall buy one for you as a random act of kindness. Let me know if you've already ordered it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
