  • Blitz the chopped onions in a food processor, then push through a sieve over a bowl to save the onion juices. Set the juice aside and discard the pulp. Pop the chilli, coriander, lemon, sesame oil, ginger and garlic paste, vinegar, cumin, chaat masala, turmeric, the onion juice and some seasoning in the food processor and whizz until well combined.
  • Add the chicken to the marinade and leave for at least one hour. When ready, skewer the chicken pieces onto long metal skewers and grill for 20 mins, turning regularly or until charred and cooked through. Serve with flatbreads and all your favourite sides.
