Tandoori dry rub

I had never done a tandoori chicken on the grill, but if the lady asks, the lady gets (a first try). For the rub, I did the following to make it, and that was good!

  • 0.5 tablespoon of black pepper grains
  • 4 tablespoons of cumin seeds
  • 3 tablespoons of coriander seeds
  • 8 whole cloves (dutch would be ‘kruidnagel’)
  • 5 tablespoons of paprika powder (I used a slightly sweetened one)
  • 0.5 tablespoon of cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 0.5 tablespoon of sea salt

Put these dry herbs in a pan (no oil or butter, ofcourse) and heat it up to release all the flavors.

Once nicely warm and smelling A.W.E.S.O.M.E.! (If I may say so myself), I’ve grounded them up to a fine well mixed seasoning.

ready to use. This amount is more than enough for multiple times, but please use at your own discretion. I’m not the boss of your kitchen 😉

What exactly is it?

I wanted to have a long go with some outdoor cooking, since I’ve missed a weekend, which is killing, of course, but nevertheless necessary. I really couldn’t make it last weekend.

So, to have a go, I fired up the coal starter and went into the kitchen for some preparation. I had some Butler Steak (about 1,5 kg) and chopped up 2 unions and a complete fresh ball of garlic. Garlic is ALWAYS good! I also made some cajun herbs myself, since I’ve read that factory prepared cajun consists of 60% salt, which I didn’t want.
