If you want to study the art of meatless barbecue, India is the place to do it. So says Steve Raichlen in his Globe-Trotter Guide to BBQ.This nation of more than a billion people has more vegetarians than there are people in the USA. Over the centuries, Indian grill masters have evolved a higly sophisticated style of vegetarian barbecue - dishes bursting with flavor (not to mention dairy and grain proteins). Their grilling is so complex and satisfying, you'll never miss the meat! Tandoori "aloo" potato - turns up at grill parlors throughout northern India. The best Raichlen has ever tasted came from the landmark restaurant Moti Mahal in Delhi, the potatoes were packed with cheese, slathered with spice paste, and crusted with sesame seeds. What's not to like? If unable to find the yogurt for some reason, place regular yogurt in cheesecloth-lined strainer set over a large bowl. Cover and chill overnight to drain & voilá!
