There’s nothing quite like the sizzle of a hot grill on a summer afternoon, the smoky aroma filling the air, and the joy of sharing food with friends and family. But let’s be honest—vegetarian BBQs often get a bad rap. People think it’s just grilled vegetables on a stick, but we’re here to change that perception. The secret? Chukde’s Tandoori Barbecue Masala.

This spice blend transforms ordinary plant-based BBQ dishes into something extraordinary. I’ve tested these recipes at backyard cookouts, and trust me, even the most die-hard meat lovers come back for seconds. So, grab your tongs, fire up the grill, and get ready to enjoy these five incredible vegetarian BBQ dishes.

1. Spiced BBQ Paneer Skewers

Paneer is the perfect protein-packed vegetarian alternative for BBQs. It soaks up spices beautifully and gets that delicious golden char on the grill.

Ingredients:

• 200g paneer, cut into cubes
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 1 red onion, diced
• 1 tbsp Chukde Tandoori Barbecue Masala
• 2 tbsp yogurt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, Chukde Tandoori Barbecue Masala, and salt.
2. Add the paneer, bell pepper, and onion. Toss well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (overnight is even better!).
3. Thread onto skewers and grill on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until slightly charred.
4. Serve with mint chutney or a squeeze of lemon.

Pro Tip:  If you want an extra smoky flavor, place a piece of hot charcoal in a bowl, add a drop of ghee on top, and cover for 2 minutes. The paneer will absorb the delicious smokiness.

2. Barbecue Masala Grilled Mushrooms

Mushrooms have an umami richness that makes them an ideal canvas for spice blends. Chukde’s Tandoori Barbecue Masala takes them to another level!

Ingredients:

• 250g button mushrooms, cleaned
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp Cooked Tandoori Barbecue Masala
• 1 tsp garlic paste
• Salt to taste
• Wooden skewers (soaked)

Instructions:

1. Mix olive oil, garlic paste, salt, and ChukdeTandoori Barbecue Masala.
2. Toss the mushrooms in the marinade and let them sit for 15 minutes.
3. Skewer the mushrooms and grill for 5-7 minutes, turning frequently.
4. Serve hot with a drizzle of lemon juice.

Expert Tip: For a deeper flavor, grill the mushrooms over indirect heat first, then give them a final sear over high heat.

3. Smoky BBQ Cauliflower Steaks

Who knew cauliflower could be the star of the BBQ? When grilled with the right spices, it turns into a delicious, slightly crispy delight.

Ingredients:

• 1 large cauliflower, sliced into thick “steaks”
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp ChukdeTandoori Barbecue Masala
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with olive oil.
2. Sprinkle with Chukde Tandoori Barbecue Masala, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Grill on medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side.
4. Serve with a cooling yogurt dip.

Personal Favorite:I once grilled these with a hint of maple syrup added to the marinade—mind-blowing!

4. BBQ Masala Sweet Potato Wedges

Sweet potatoes caramelize beautifully on the grill, and the spice blend adds a perfect kick.

Ingredients:

• 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into wedges

• 1 tbsp Chukde Tandoori Barbecue Masala
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, Chukde Tandoori Barbecue Masala, and salt.

Secret Tip: Parboil the wedges for 5 minutes before grilling for a soft inside and crispy outside.

5. Charred Corn with Spicy Butter

Nothing says BBQ like grilled corn, but let’s spice it up with a BBQ masala-infused butter.

Ingredients:

• 4 ears of corn, husked
