Question
Hi
I am new to grilling.Yesterday i tried to grill some vegetables like vegetable kebab.I tried with potato,pepper,onion,carrots in a bamboo screwer.I grilled it for 30 minutes it was slightly black in colour but theyre half cooked and it sucks to eat them.I applied yogurt,paprika and salt to all veggies and marinated it for about 8 hours before grilling.Can you help me with this and more vegetarian grilling recipes.

Thanks

Ramya,

Sounds like you cooked directly over the fire.  Try grilling indirect.  There are two methods for grilling foods, direct and indirect.  WIth vegetables, you want to cook them indirect.  If cooking over hot coals, build your fire on one side of the grill and cook on the opposite side for indirect,  You can always finish cooking direct if you want to get a little carmelization going.  On a gas grill, turn on one set of burners and leave the other off.
