[westothemax]

I got these recipes from a friend after a BBQ at his house.

Lemon grass chicken kebab for 4 people :

cut 2 pounds of boneless chicken in small pieces.

marinate chicken for a few hours in the juice of three limes, 2 branches of lemon grass thinly sliced, 3 teaspoons of soy sauce, 3 teaspoons of olive oil, salt, pepper.

Put the chicken on skewers with sliced onions, red or green peppers, tomatoes.

Cook it on very hot fire.

Mmm, that sounds delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

Quick question; the "tandoori spices mix" you mentioned for the "indian style" kabob, does that come as-is in grocery stores, labeled as tandoori mix? indian grocery stores, perhaps? Or can you make it from other herbs?

Yeah that's what I wasn't sure of... I'm going to ask my friend when he's back in town.

edit - Just wanted to add that I substituted curry powder into the recipe and it was great.
