Meat prepared on a mangal

Mangal is a Middle Eastern barbecue—both the event and the grilling apparatus itself.

Etymology[]

The word mangal is derived from the Arabic word manqal (منقل) meaning "portable"^[1] and originally referred to portable heaters used by Bedouin to warm tents during the cold desert evenings. The portability of heating equipment - as well as all other belongings - is vital for the Bedouin's nomadic lifestyle. Today, these Mangals have largely been replaced by modern heaters and stoves.^{[citation needed]}

Mangal also refers to the social gathering of family or friends in gardens or picnic areas.^[2]

Description[]

A mangal is typically used to grill various cuts of meat, such as steak, hamburgers, kebab, shashlik, chicken wings and chicken breasts. Roasted vegetables, salads and other cold foods accompany the meal.
