Quail, spatchcocked, tandooried and cooked over charcoal.

Served with spiced lentils, raita, salad rice and flatbreads.  The flavour of cooking over charcoal is unbeatable in our opinion.  I don't really understand gas bbqs.  We skewer the quails which makes them really easy to turn over.  They are such delicious little birds.  They're sold here with the heads on (gutted of course but always with the kidneys and hearts in tact because they are extremely delicious).  The heads are left on to show the breed.  These were from the Vosges, a department next to us.  It's important here for people to know the varieties, not just buy any old thing.  Also, I must mention how dry the poultry (and meat for that matter) is here.  It's never wet and slimy.  Gross.  Even the thought of buying that wet slimy poultry makes me shudder.
