Patak the Barbecue this summer

For many, the warmer weather can mean bucket loads of lacklustre salads and uninspired barbeque food; fortunately Patak’s has something a little different for you. They have developed a selection of new recipes to ensure everyone can get their fix of Indian flavor during the coming summer months:

Tandoori Chicken Naanchos

An Indian twist on nachos – brilliant for sharing with friends!

Chettinad Chicken Bites with Red Pepper Salsa

Perfect finger food, great for buffets and street parties

Balti Crab Cakes

Move away from the traditional (and boring) fish cakes with these lightly spiced crab cakes

BBQ’d Fish Kebabs

This light and delicately balanced dish is a real winner at barbeques

Halloumi Stuffed Red Peppers

An impressive, delicious and simple starter or side dish, the halloumi works fantastically when combined with the subtle spices

Lemon Rice

A refreshing accompaniment, excellent at buffets or served as a side at a barbeque

MEAT EATERS

Panfried Duck Breast with Cloves and Cinnamon

Impress at summer dinner parties with this succulent duck dish

Baked Chicken with Yoghurt Sauce

A relaxed and simple curry dish to warm the cockles during colder evenings (because the good weather in the UK rarely holds for long)

South Indian Lamb Cous Cous

Cous cous, commonly found in Moroccan or Mediterranean dishes, is delicious hot or cold!

Spicy Meat Balls in a Yoghurt Sauce

The spice of these meat balls is cooled perfectly by the subtle flavours of the yoghurt sauce

SEAFOOD

Steamed Fish Parcels

Keep it light during the summer months with delicately steamed fish parcels

VEGETARIAN

Channa Dhal

Dhal is a spicy stew-like meal made with lentils or chickpeas. This recipe is best served with chapattis and rice.
