Indian on the Grill
My husband, Bond, and I are big fans of Indian food. We’re also big fans of our Viking 53-inch gas grill. We found a way to combine the two in this menu that is perfect for summer entertaining.
Foil-Pouch Coconut Curried Mussels are the perfect starter. For the meat-eaters, we’ve turned Kofta, a traditional ground meat dish that is usually grilled on metal skewers, into burgers, serving them up on naan bread with a cooling Raita. Sides of Basmati Pilaf and Chickpea and Spinach Curry cook up on our grill’s side burners and satisfy our vegetarian friends.
Cool things off with some chilled Mango-Yogurt Soup, which is my version of a Mango Lassie, but a bit simpler to prepare because it includes just two ingredients.

Recipes:
-
Basmati Pilaf
I learned how to make Indian-style rice pilaf from an Indian friend who always shows up to parties with a big bowl of her fragrant basmati pilaf.More. -
Kofta "Burgers" with Raita
These Kofta “Burgers” are a simple version of a popular Indian skewered ground meat dish. Turning the mixture into burgers is an American twist, but using naan bread instead of buns and cooling things off with a classic cucumber Raita makes these fairly close to the classic.More. -
Chickpea and Spinach Curry
I cook several meatless meals for my family every week, and often I serve this flavorful version of Chickpea and Spinach Curry.More. -
Chilled Mango-Yogurt Soup
This simplified version of the Indian Mango Lassie is the perfect way to end a spicy Indian meal.More. -
Foil-Pouch Coconut Curried Mussels
Remember those foil “hobo” packets you cooked on the open fire at summer camp? The recipe is the perfect way to show off your Viking outdoor grill, and the clams or mussels are perfectly moist when cooked in the steamy foil packets.More.
