00:08professional cook and professional eater
00:13I'm chef Kelvin Chung and today we're at Hashmi barbecue one of my favorite restaurants in Dubai and
00:18Here are three dishes that you must try
00:25To start our meal we're gonna start off with the chooza
00:30It's the most beautiful smoky charred tandoor chicken instead of using that classic
00:35Tandoori masala mix they do their own blend using those Kenyan spices as well
00:43Yeah, look at that falls right off the bone
00:47Mmm a little bit crispy on the outside, but so tender and juicy still on the inside you get that nice beautiful spice
00:54Some acidity in the background
00:56Somehow they're just magically cooked perfectly every time
01:05Thank you
01:08The next dish we have is the mutton keema chapati
01:12They've taken some fresh chapati stuffed it with this beautiful spiced mutton keema
01:17Dip it in egg and they lightly sear it so that it's just cooked you get that nice crispy texture
01:23And it's still fluffy and gives you that almost late-night ultimate snack
01:33Mmm you still get that flaky crispy chapati. It's like the perfect combination and perfect bite
01:41Finally we have the Poussin this is the magical dish that comes with that secret sauce
01:48As much as I can figure out they just take a fresh chicken
01:51Throw it straight into the fryer and the moment it comes out of the fryer
01:55They dunk it in this vat of butter and they cover it with this magical spice the most
02:00Beautiful part of this dish it always comes with these fries and these fries are so good
02:05They're so easy to eat. They're so easy to eat
02:08It always comes with these fries and these fries are soaked and drenched in that butter spicy sauce
02:17Look at that. It's moist. It's juicy. It's tender
02:24Mmm
02:25Still crispy on the outside and the best part of this chicken. There's no batter. There's no coating
02:31All you get is that delicious chicken that just covered in that sweet sauce
02:35In case you need something to cool off your mouth they make this beautiful kulfi soft-serve
02:44So those are my favorite dishes at Hashbrook barbecue. Come try it out and let me know what you think
