How to Order BBQ for a Group of 10

Start with a count, not a wish list

For ten adults, plan on roughly 250 to 300 grams of grilled meat per person, which means about 25 to 30 pieces of boti plus kababs and a few chicken pieces. Round up if the group is mostly young men; round down if there is also a karahi on the table.

Mix textures: boneless boti, soft kababs and bone-in pieces each eat differently and keep the table interesting.

A sample order for ten

Two portions of chicken tikka boti, two of malai boti, one of Afghani tikka boti, four reshmi kababs, four chicken kababs, and four chicken pieces (two leg, two chest). Add a mutton karahi if you want a gravy centrepiece and naan for everyone.

Order drinks and salad with the first round. BBQ comes off the grill in waves, so having something on the table early keeps the mood right.

Timing

Send the order on WhatsApp before you leave home. Grilled items are cooked to order, and a large order started early arrives together rather than in dribs.
