Method

Try this really easy yogurt marinade – made with Kashmiri chilli flakes, turmeric, cumin and garlic – for chicken kebabs. If you want to make the recipe, try and marinade the day before for tender and full-of-flavour chicken.

  1. In a large bowl, combine the yoghurt, chilli flakes, turmeric, coriander seeds, cumin, garlic, lemon zest and juice, and half the parsley. Add the chicken, toss to coat, then cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight. 
  2. Just before you’re ready to cook, soak 4 wooden skewers in water for 30 mins (this will stop them catching under the grill.) 
  3. Preheat the grill to high and line a baking tray with foil. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, place on the baking tray and grill for 6-8 mins on each side, until cooked through. To serve, scatter over the remaining coriander and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
