- Put the ginger and garlic pastes, pomegranate paste, yoghurt, onion, ginger, chilli powder, ground dried fenugreek, lemon juice and oil in a large shallow dish and mix together.
- Add the chicken pieces and rub the mixture evenly over to coat. Cover and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.
- Prepare a charcoal grill for moderate heat, or preheat the oven to 190”C / 375“F / Gas Mark 5. Thread the chicken pieces onto several metal skewers.
