  • 2 cloves garlic, grated on a microplane
  • 1 thumb ginger, grated on a microplane
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp garam masala
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder

  • 1 lime
  • 1/2 clove garlic
  • 1 green chilli, sliced roughly

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the cubed chicken breasts liberally with kosher/fine sea salt. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Mix together the yoghurt, ginger garlic paste, spices, food colouring (if using) and 1/2 lime juice together. Add the chicken and ensure every piece is well coated. Reserve in the fridge for min 30 minutes or up to overnight.

  4. Once ready to cook, add the chicken to the water bath and cook for 45 minutes – 1 hour.

Add 1 tsp of sugar, green chilli, coriander and mint leaves. Pulse until combined and the herbs and chilli have broken down. Season to taste with salt and add more sugar if needed.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove the pieces of drain off the excess marinade. Place onto skewers and finish on a grill, griddle or use a blow torch to sear the outside. For best results sear on a charcoal BBQ.
