🍛 Marinating Secrets – How to Get the Juiciest, Most Flavourful Dishes

Why Marination is the Key to Next-Level Cooking

Ever wondered why restaurant food tastes so much better? The secret is marination! But marinating isn’t just about soaking your food—it’s about using the right ingredients, technique, and timing to maximize flavour and tenderness.

Here’s everything you need to know to become a marination master.


🔥 3 Golden Rules for Perfect Marination

1️⃣ Use an Acid

Acids like lemon juice, vinegar, and yogurt help break down proteins, making meats and veggies tender and juicy.

✅ Try this: Use Greek yogurt & Xawaash spice blend for an ultra-tender, flavour-packed grilled chicken.

2️⃣ Go Bold on Spices

Spices don’t just add flavour—they also create depth. For best results, mix your BIG BANG! Spices blend with oil and salt before applying.

✅ Try this: Coat paneer in Tandoori Masala & olive oil before grilling.

3️⃣ Timing Matters

Marinate for the right amount of time to get the best results without overpowering the food.

  • Veggies: 15-30 minutes
  • Chicken: 2-4 hours
  • Meat: 4-12 hours
  • Seafood: 30 minutes

💡 Pro Tip: Massage your marinade into the food and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking for the best flavour infusion.
