Quail With Indian Spices image

This is from Charmaine Solomon's Encyclopedia of Asian Food, one of my most used cookbooks. The toasted rice gives a lovely crisp finish and the marinade is delicious.

Categories     Quail

Time 35m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 quail
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1 tablespoon oil
3 tablespoons natural yoghurt
3 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons rice flour (*)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • Using scissors or poultry shears, split the quail down the backbone and open out flat-I like to remove the backbone, and pull the tiny breast bones out (it's easy).
  • Rinse and clean the cavity, and if the birds have been frozen, dry well with paper towel.
  • Crush the garlic with the salt until very smooth, then mix in the remaining ingredients.
  • Rub the mixture well into the quail, then cover and marinate at least 1 hour or overnight if time permits.
  • Remove from the marinade, reserving it.
  • Preheat a grill or broiler and cook, turning and brushing the quail at least twice with any remaining marinade.
  • It the marinade is too thick to brush on, dilute it with a tablespoon each of oil and water.
  • Cook until the quail are brown and crisp and done to your liking. I cooked our to medium and it took about 10 minutes.
  • *Toast the rice in a dry pan, then grind with a mortar and pestle, the ground rice helps give the quail their nice crunchy coating.

The quail was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different cooking method next time.

This quail dish was an explosion of flavor! The Indian spices really brought out the best in the meat, and the yogurt marinade made it so tender and juicy. I'll definitely be making this again soon!
