Spicy Chicken Kebabs

Ingredients

• 500g of chicken breast (4)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground corriander
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 clove garlic
• 5g fresh ginger
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 150g sour cream or natural yogurt

Preparation Time: 10 minutes (and at least 1 hour marinading) (if you have time)
Cooking Time: 13 minutes
Serves: 4

Method

1. Peel and grate the garlic, grate the ginger and put them with all of the other ingredients, except for the chicken, into a mixing bowl.
2. Then mix them all together.
3. Chop the chicken into equally sized pieces.
4. Put the chicken into the bowl with the marinade and mix them around so that each piece is completely coated.
5. Cover the bowl with a piece of cling-film/plastic-wrap and put it into the fridge for (ideally) at least an hour, preferably overnight (it can be cooked straight away but it really does benefit from some marinading time).
6. When you are ready to cook, turn on your grill to the very-hot setting and take the marinading chicken out of the fridge.
7. Evenly thread the chicken onto skewers.
8. Put the chicken under the grill and cook it for about 13 minutes, turning it over halfway through. The chicken should just be beginning to char on edges.
9. Serve. We served it with naan bread, cabbage, cucumber and chilli salad and sour cream mixed with chopped fresh corriander.
