Roasted meat is famous all over the world, but the seasonings used while roasting meats is different in different places and I feel that Orissa does it in a unique way.
Method:
1. Whole pigeon, shaved clean (hair removed and thoroughly cleaned)
2. Smear the pigeons with garlic and ginger paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder and salt.
3. Fill bamboo culms or branches with pigeons and block both the openings of the stems with wet mud
4. Roast the culms on a barbecue, preferably over open fire.
This recipe was discovered by the hunters who would hunt for game meat and roast it with whatever the nature provides them with in a jungle. The roasted pigeons will take an hour to get properly cooked and it can be eaten with hot sauces.
