Barbecute

Assalamualaikum, praise be to Allah! Barbecue gatherings are a favourite past time for Lufbruans, a tradition since first year. Usually it means socializing with friends but for me it's busy work, because half the time it's our house organizing it.haha. MashaAllah, but i like it. Tasty food and great company.

We had 15 kilos of chicken and 6o plus chicken satays.Was a bit skeptical at first, are we going to be able to finish everything?, but mashaAllah, nothing is wasted. Alhamdulillah.

Oh yah, a first; chicken satay! Not really a fan (mostly because of the sickly sweet sauce) but yesterday i was a satay loving convert. hehe. These pictures were the only instance where i managed to collect that many satays in one plate, because people kept on eating them of the barbe one by one alhamdulillah!

Satay marinade goes like:
spice paste ground made of 2 table spoons chilli powder, 1 table spoon of tumeric powder, 2 large onions, 2 table spoons sugar, 1 tbsp coriander seeds, 1 tsp of sugar,2 stalks of lemon grass blended in oil.
Marinate for 12 hours for best results!
For the Satay sauce
Spice paste for blending
3 large onions
5 cloves garlic
3 table spoons of chilli paste
2 chicken stock cubes
3 Tablespoons of sugar
2 cm galangal
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds

Then fry them till fragrant for 15 minutes. Then add a cup of ground peanuts and a tablespoon of tamarind. Adjust the taste with peanut butter and sweet soya sauce. Don't worry, the sweet soya sauce wont affect the colour.hehe

Peace
