As I was saying just yesterday, things are heating up! It seems I make just as many references to the weather as I do to food. That is mainly because how things are outside, depends on what I am cooking inside. Today was a seriously hot and windy day. The house is filled with dust, sand and fur. Yes fur, because it seems the pet fur multiplies by thousands on windy days. I am about to abandon house work until October. Not that I am a fan at the best of times.
Notes About The Indian Chicken Skewers
- I used curry powder in this recipe as it is easy. I know it is kind of cheating and normally I use a mix of my own spices. However, with the addition of other ingredients it worked great. So, when you don’t have all those extra spices on hand, sometimes it is just fine to use straight curry powder.
- This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled or whatever depending on how many people you are serving. If you are planning a party and want to be organized, you can marinade and put them on skewers up to 24 hours before cooking. If you are using wooden skewers and not the metal ones, it is best to wait to put them on sticks until just before putting them on the barbecue. Sometimes I find they wooden skewers can be quite fragile and bend or break if the meat is on them too long before cooking.
