The Chicken Story- Shawai, Tanduri, BBQ or What?

-
Thursday afternoon is for friends and family to gather and spend some quality time together; cousins in Dubai get together every Thursday with accessories like coal, grill marinated chicken and kubboos. It is like a celebration with jokes, pokes, fun and barbeque, but first is to find a right place in the desert to settle down.

First step is to get fire up coal, that requires skill and patience, next is to place the marinated chicken on the grill. There is no cooking oil used (zero cholesterol) and the chicken cooks in its own oil, each pieces are moved/turned so that the cooking is regular.

Alas! The pleasure of sumptuous food. (made at home)

Once the chicken is ready everything else is forgotten it’s just chicken and us,
The name of the dish was of course a debate, Shawai, Tandoori or BBQ finally we decided to call it ‘chutta kozhi’.

Recipe – Chicken marinated in Secret Ingredients for at-least 4 hours.

Secrete ingredients:-
Lemon/Curd, Mint, Cilantro, chilly powder, tamarind powder, garlic-ginger paste.

Dua:
food is brought - Allahumma barik-lana feema razaqathana waqina adabannaar(o allah i ask of you to bless with barakath in what you have provided and save us from punishment of the Fire)
Before food - Bismillahi wa -ala barakathillah (In the name of Allah and on barakath from allah)
During food - Allahumma lakal hamdu wa laka shukur (O allah to you is praise and to you i am thankful)
After food - Alhamdulillahillathee, atha-amanee, wa saqaani wa ja-alani minal muslimeen.(All praise to Allah who has fed me, made me drink, and made me among those who obey him)

Meaning of Summa Ameen

-

The verbal meaning of Summa Ameen is re-iteration of the first Ameen. The effect of saying Ameen is more than saying dua twise which is explained as below. The letter deliverd by a post man or a courier would have a 'From' address and a 'To' address it would rarely contain a seal, presence of a seal signifies higher priority and importance of the delivered content. So the reader gives more consideration to a letter which has a seal on it. Every dua is our personal letter which is delivered directly to Allah, with immediate effect and no middle man/thing. Prophet said(something similar to) "a dua followed by Ameen is like placing a seal on it".

Would you be intimate with some one, so intimate that to hear their name you would sacrifice all your wealth? Would you be so understanding about your companion intimate that even upon signs you would care enough to satisfy the need of the moment. That is the biography of Prophet Ibrahim peace be upon him, and that is the plot for the Eid. The only one who knows the innermost matters of a persons heart is Allah. When Allah decided to make an affluent youth his khaleel (intimate friend),the angels were surprised. Why wouldnt they be?There is not even a speck of space where the angels are not performing devotional gestures.Angels are infact very close to Allah.They are so pure and subservient, always willing to heed to Allah's commands.And they are clean from any form of disobedience.The angel most dearest to Allah is the archangel,Jibreel(Gabriel)( peace be on him). He is also know as roohul qudoos(holy spirit).So Allah gave him a chance to test his chosen one. With Allah&
