Big Green Egg | 50th Recipe | Karan Gokani | Chaat Masala Potatoes

These are essentially tandoori potatoes. They’re not cooked in a tandoor, but a Big Green Egg is the one barbecue I’ve seen that even comes close.

As part of Big Green Egg’s 50th birthday celebrations, we’re sharing 50 brand-new recipes from an amazing cast of cooks. Next to take his place in our outdoor kitchen is the man who turned the vibrant street food of Sri Lanka into a fixture of the London dining scene: Karan Gokani, co-founder of Hoppers restaurants.
Karan has been cooking at home on a Big Green Egg for the past three years. He’s a man who loves cooking over fire - it was the traditional open fire cooking of the subcontinent’s streets and homes that inspired his restaurants. He loves it for the flavour it brings - he likens it to catching bonfire smoke in the air on a cold autumn night - but also the way it brings people together. It’s not just about cooking food, he says, it’s about making conversation through food.
