Instructions
- In a large pan or wok, heat the oil over medium heat.
- When hot, pour in your chopped onions and green chillies
- Fry until the onion is translucent and soft.
- Now add the garam masala, cumin and turmeric and stir it all up.
- Add the spinach and garlic and ginger paste and stir it all into the onions. As you cook, the spinach will wilt.
- Remove this from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
- In a blender, blend the spinach and onion mixture with the lemon juice, cashews, butter, mint, fresh coriander and yogurt. You may need to add a little water to do this.
- Once blended, check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Take about a cup full of the marinade out and set aside for later.
- Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken pieces and allow to marinate for 30 minutes to 24 hours. The longer the better.
- When ready to cook, light your charcoal until white hot.
- Skewer the chicken pieces and place over the hot coals. Be sure to rotate the skewers regularly so that the meat chars on the exterior and cooks evenly through.
- Just before serving, baste with the marinade you set aside earlier.
