Alfaham Maker Job in Kottayam

Kottayam, Kerala Full Time Date: 30 April 2024

Job description

Marinating: Prepare the marinade for the chicken, which typically includes a combination of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, spices (such as paprika, cumin, turmeric, and coriander), and sometimes tomato paste or ketchup. Marinate the chicken pieces for several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. Preparation: Clean and cut the chicken into pieces, such as drumsticks, thighs, or breast portions, depending on customer preferences. Remove excess fat and skin from the chicken pieces before marinating them in the spice mixture. Grilling: Cook the marinated chicken pieces on a grill or barbecue over medium to high heat. Use charcoal or wood chips to impart a smoky flavor to the chicken as it cooks. Monitor the cooking process closely to ensure that the chicken is evenly cooked and does not become dry or burnt. Basting: Periodically baste the chicken with the leftover marinade or a mixture of oil, lemon juice, and spices to keep it moist and flavorful. Use a brush or spoon to apply the basting sauce to the chicken while it cooks on the grill. Temperature Control: Maintain the temperature of the grill or barbecue to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to kill any harmful bacteria. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken before serving. Presentation: Arrange the grilled chicken pieces on a serving platter or plate, garnishing them with lemon wedges, fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro), and sliced onions. Serve the Alfaham hot and freshly grilled to preserve its tender texture and aromatic flavor. Accompaniments: Serve Alfaham with traditional Middle Eastern side dishes and condiments, such as Arabic bread (such as khubz or pita), hummus, tahini sauce, garlic sauce (toum), pickles, and salad. Provide customers with a selection of sauces and dips to enhance their dining experience. Customer Service: Interact with customers in a friendly and professional manner, taking orders, answering questions about the menu, and providing recommendations based on their preferences. Ensure that customers are satisfied with their Alfaham and address any concerns or special requests promptly. Kitchen Hygiene: Maintain cleanliness and hygiene standards in the kitchen, including proper food handling, storage, and sanitation practices. Clean and sanitize grilling equipment, utensils, and surfaces regularly to prevent cross-contamination and foodborne illnesses. Inventory Management: Monitor inventory levels of chicken, spices, marinade ingredients, and other supplies needed for preparing Alfaham. Place orders for replenishment as needed to ensure a continuous supply of ingredients for cooking. Menu Development: Collaborate with management and chefs to develop new menu items or variations of Alfaham to attract customers and enhance the restaurant's offerings. Experiment with different marinades, cooking techniques, and presentation styles to create innovative and appealing dishes. Continuous Learning: Stay updated on culinary trends, techniques, and innovations related to Middle Eastern cuisine and grilled dishes. Attend training workshops, culinary events, and industry seminars to expand your knowledge and skills as an Alfaham maker.
