Last week I arranged a Barbeque party at my residence and invited my friends and their families.  We were having this get together after almost a year, so everyone were very excited for this moment. The ladies decided to share the work load by taking responsibility of cooking their dishes.  My family volunteered to cook Barbeque Chicken Tikka, Chicken Malai Kebab, Malai Paneer Kebab, Grilled Mushroom and the Fish Curry, Konkani cuisine. My friend’s family agreed to cook Dal fry, Chapattis, Jeera rice, deserts Chocolate Moose, Orange Marmalade Moose and Green Salad.  My friend came up with a creative idea of using the Hot Barbeque to Roast Sweet Potato wrapped in silver foil and Pappad.  Roast Sweet potato was served with squeeze of lime and sprinkling chat masala on it after peeling.  It was tasting very good. We had fun and had a great time.
