Tips and suggestions
- Cooks Tips...
- to make curd cheese, spoon 400ml set Greek yogurt into a piece of muslin. Secure with string and hang over a bowl overnight - the liquid drains away and you're left with firm curd cheese in the muslin.
Ingredients
- 6 whole Quail
For the marinade
- 250g curd cheese, (see cook’s note) or very thick Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Ghee
- 1/2 tsp Black peppercorns, cracked
- 2 tsp red Chilli powder
- 1 tsp ground Green cardamom
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- pinch Salt
- 3 cm Ginger, grated
- 7 cloves Garlic, crushed
- 1 small Onion, grated
Method
1. For the marinade: in a large bowl mix together all the ingredients for the marinade to make a paste. Add the quails, rubbing the marinade into them and leave aside for 1 hour.2. Cook the quails on a hot barbecue or under a hot grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
