Chicken Tikka Skewers

Note: You will also need 3 wooden or metal skewers and a skillet or grill pan. This serves 2-3 depending on how many you want. We ended up with 6 chunks on each and 3 skewers: I had 1, my boyfriend had 2.

Place the yoghurt, purée, onion, garlic, ginger, paprika and ground cumin in a blender. Blitz it in the mixer until a smooth paste has formed. Place the chunks of chicken in a bowl and pour the marinade on top. Mix until all the chicken is coated.

Place the bowl in the fridge and leave it to marinate for at least 2 hours. After 2 hours, take the chicken out and thread the chicken as evenly as possible onto the skewers. We ended up with 6 chunks on each.

Heat up the skillet on a medium temperature, spray with cooking oil (we used the 1 calorie per spray stuff) and heat until it smokes. Once up to temperature, place the skewers into the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side of the chicken. Keep rotating the chicken until it’s cooked through and nicely browned.

Serve immediately. We served ours with rice.
