this marinade looks really spicy
no it's normal

a lot of people have given them for roasting
this tells that they're really good at this
so this isn't in your menu right? No
it's on order only
just check this
he's now applying the marinade
this marinade looks amazing
you'll barbecue it now? yes
I guess I can't taste it...
no I'll let you taste it
you will? yes definitely
wow that's great
I'll taste it but it's someone else's order
I'll let you taste it in front of them
I'll just take a small piece. Alright
how much time does it take to cook
it takes about 5 hours maximum
5 hours from start to finish
these all are steamed as well
and they're really tender
the real deal is its marinade
it'll give it a nice taste
the spices we applied before are good too
but this is made from Yogurt, Butter & Malai
it has White Pepper, Nutmeg & Ground Spices
we prepare all these spices here
usually what station are you on?
I'm here on Karahi
so you're the Karahi expert?
you can make anything?
I'm an all rounder
Biryani, Karahi
We've also made Fruit Trifle
on order? yes
now they'll go on the barbecue grill
you're preparing it for grill? yeah
they'll grill the mutton legs here
and they're lighting up the charcoal now
it looks amazing
the grill is now ready
just check this out
they haven't grilled it much 'cause it was already steamed
it has a really crispy texture now
Umair has given me a piece of it
because it's someone else's order
so let's taste it now
it's really crispy from top because they've grilled it
and really juicy from inside
really nice
In Karahi we add Cumin Powder, Ground Chili Pepper,
Salt, Ground Spices, Turmeric Powder & Black Pepper
also Yogurt, Green Chilies, Ginger Garlic Paste & Tomato Paste
the real thing is how you cook it
because the ingredients are same
but it depends on how perfectly you cook it
you're married? Yes I have 2 kids
who cooks at home? my wife
you don't cook at home? why?
I go home at 2 AM from here
and then you'd have to cook at home too
I do cook at home sometimes
on special occasions? yeah
or if there's an event
your wife doesn't ask you to cook?
I only guide her & she cooks
I just tell her all the ingredients
Salam what's your name? Tariq
Tariq what's the special item here?
everything's special here
Ok then get us Half Chicken Karahi
Bihari Boti, Seekh Kebab & Malai Boti
where are you from?
Bahawalpur
this is the beauty of Karachi
Tarq here is from Bahawalpur
and the guys who were making Chapati & Paratha are from Mansehra
and this placed is named Ambala
and it's all really amazing
So our food is finally here
this is our Karahi, Bihari Boti, Malai Boti & Seekh Kebab
these Parathas are really crispy
just check this
they are so crispy
I'll start with Bihari Boti
I'll dip it in the Chutney
and some onions
Their BBQ is amazing
especially with their Chutney
and how they were marinating the Tikka
this Bihari Boti is really tender
and it's properly cooked
I'll take a bite of Seekh Kebab & dip it in Chutney
Kebab Paratha is the best combo
this Seekh Kebab has a combination of different spices
and they're not too spicy
the flavor of onions & all the spices is just amazing
this is Chicken Malai Boti
Malai Boti is usually not that spicy
it's soft boneless chicken
it's really good
if you're here with family enjoying these spicy dishes
you can get Malai Boti for kids
and they will enjoy it
now let's move on to Koyla Karahi
I'll try it with Chapati
and the best way to eat it is to eat it in this
anything you cook on charcoal just gets a different flavor
it has green chilies, tomatoes & lots of other spices
really nice
this Chicken is properly cooked
I usually order Parathas
but Chapati is also a must
because Parathas are oily
you can order Paratha for a good taste
but I think Chapati is a healthier option
but the Paratha really enhances the taste
I'll take a bite of Bihari Boti again
really good
Faizan you come here regularly, how's their food?
Yeah I come here very often
and the reason is that their BBQ is just amazing
and I really enjoy it
and it's worth spending your money here
Faizan here is an old friend of mine
we both did Masters in Economics together
he also did his PhD from UK
and he also teaches in Karachi University
and it's my pleasure that he joined us today
also with me is Ahmed Ashfaq
How are you Ahmed?
I'm great
How's the food here?
The food's amazing
and whatever you told me about this place is absolutely true
So with Ambala Kebab House's amazing food I conclude today's video
I enjoyed having food out here after a long time
I hope you all enjoyed today's video
