Today is Mother's Day, and we are making BBQ chicken as requested by mom.

First, we will marinate the chicken. We will use soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and 3 green chilies.

Add lemon juice to the marinade and mix well.

Next, we will prepare the moong dal. Heat water in a kettle and add the moong dal to cook.

Add cardamom powder to the dal while it cooks for flavor.

Once the dal is cooked, we will check the consistency and flavor.

Now, we will take the marinated chicken and add it to the BBQ grill.

Grill the chicken until cooked thoroughly, ensuring it is juicy.

While the chicken is grilling, we will prepare the sabudana. Soak it in water and cook it until it becomes soft.

Add almonds to the sabudana as per your preference.

For the dessert, we will make a sweet dish using condensed milk and sugar, cooking it until thickened.

Once everything is ready, serve the BBQ chicken hot with the moong dal and sabudana.
