Vegetarian BBQ grill

After spending months indoor during winter time, the one thing that we look forward to when Summer starts is, spending day out, having BBQ near river side and enjoy the food and weather with family and friends. For non-veg there are multiple options with BBQ. But here I am presenting the vegetarian option for BBQ, which is equally mouth watering i.e. Mixed vegetables Grill. 

Ingredients

• 1-2 big size Capsicum
• 2 big Onion
• 3-4 partly boiled Potatoes
• 7-8 Mushrooms
• 7-8 big pieces of Paneer
• 2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• grated Ginger
• Lemon Juice
• 2 cups of thick Curd (filter it in cloth)
• 2 table spoons of Besan or Gram Flour
• Spices (Salt, Turmeric powder, Red Chili powder, Coriander powder, Chaat Masala, Kasturi Methi, mustard seeds)
• around 2 table spoons of oil
  

Procedure

• Cut all vegetables, potatoes, onions, paneer in big size (as shown in pic below). Remember at the end, we will have to put all in BBQ stick and it should not break or fall down from it being small in size.

• Filter curd in a cloth and drain extra water from it by squeezing the curd inside cloth. Keep it aside. We need this curd for our marination and we want it to stick to our vegetables properly and form a layer outside. The thin curd will not form a proper layer on top of vegetables and will eventually drop out of it. So, make sure your curd is thick.

• For marination, heat some oil in a pan in low flame. Add some mustard seeds when oil is hot. Let it sprinkle. Add ginger and garlic. Add spices like turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder. Add Gram flour and mix all properly till the paste is golden yellow.

• Add the above prepared paste in the curd. Now add salt to taste, lemon juice, chaat masala and Kasturi Methi for flavor. Mix it well.

• Now marinate all vegetables using this curd and keep it aside for at least half an hour. (Prepare your marinated vegetables at home and by the time you reach your outdoor destination, this will be ready)

• Put the vegetables in grill stick and grill.
  

• Serve the grilled vegetables with chat masala and lemon juice.
  

Tips

• I prefer to microwave potatoes rather than boiling it in pressure cooker.  Microwaved potatoes remain little hard and dont break while grilling.
• While preparing curd for marination, food color can also be added. That gives bright color to the marinated curd and finally a bright color to the grilled veg.
• Grill can be done using electric grill or in Oven at home, but the grilling with coal grill gives a totally different taste.
