Bonfire Party Food Recipes

Barbecued Fish

Ingredients

• 4 skinless pomfret
• 6 dried Kashmiri chillies
• 2 chopped onions
• 2 teaspoon of tamarind pulp
• 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
• 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns
• 2 cloves of chopped garlic
• ½ teaspoon of sugar
• 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar
• Rice flour for dusting

Method of Preparation

• Before starting the actual recipe, you need to soak the chillies in warm water for around 10 minutes. Drain the water and remove the seeds from chillies.
• Put the chillies, tamarind, cumin seeds, turmeric, peppercorns, garlic, onion, sugar and vinegar in a fine mixer (food processor) and blend until smooth. Add salt to taste.
• Spread this spice paste on both the sides of the pomfret fillet, dust with rice flour.
• These pomfret fillets can be cooked on a barbecue or a preheated grill for 1-2 minutes on both sides.

Baked Potatoes

Ingredients

• Potatoes
• Filling as required

Method of Preparation

• If you wish to cook the potatoes directly on the barbecue or the bonfire, you need to wash and wrap them in foils individually. Cook them in the barbecue for 1-1½ hours.
• Other ways, in order to save them, you can precook them in an oven or a microwave till properly baked. These semi cooked potatoes can be grilled on the barbecue until crisp!
• Scoop out the potato and fill filling of your choice in the potato. Cheese and bacon, baked beans and grated cheese, cream cheese, scrambled egg, etc. make up excellent filling.
