Equipment
- BBQ
Ingredients
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
- 1 tsp chaat masala
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp chickpea flour
- 2 tbsp garlic and ginger paste
- ½ tsp dried fenugreek leaves (kasoori methi)
- 2 tsp rapeseed canola oil
- 250 g 1 cup Greek yoghurt, whisked
Instructions
- First whisk together all of the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
- Next prepare your vegetables. You want the pieces to be about the same size. Add the cut vegetables to the marinade, stir and allow to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Prepare a direct heat fire. When the coals are white-hot and it is uncomfortable to hold your hand 5cm (2in) above the grill for more than 2 seconds, you’re ready to cook.
- Thread the vegetables onto skewers, then place the skewers over the hot coals. You can also set the skewers on a cooking grate if preferred. Cook for 5–10 minutes until cooked through and charred in places. Season with flaky sea salt to taste and serve with green chutney.
