Chicken tikka skewers

  1. Peel the garlic, slice or peel the skin off the ginger and roughly chop both, along with the jalapeno.
  2. Using a spice grinder or small food processor, whizz all the ingredients up except for the chicken.
  3. Fat trim the chicken thighs and chop into roughly 3 by 3 inch squares. Mix in a bowl or ziploc bag with the marinade.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180C fan. While it preheats, thread half the chicken onto a metal skewer. Repeat with a second skewer and the rest of the chicken.
  5. Cook for 25-30 minutes, rotating each skewer halfway through.

Serve with rice, greek yoghurt and shredded carrots and sliced red onions.

Note - modifications are fat trimming the chicken, omitting the oil and sugar from the marinade, and omitting chilli powder since Tesco jalapenos have enough spice on their own.
