Ingredients:

2 whole chicken breasts, skinned and boned
1 tbsp plain yoghurt
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
1/8 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/8 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vinegar
8 thin slices of onion
4 small tomatoes, halved (optional)

Method:

Cut each chicken breast halve into 16 cubes. Combine in a bowl with the yoghurt, salt, turmeric, mustard, curry powder, cardamom, lemon juice and vinegar. Cover and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. After this time thread two chicken pieces onto skewers (if using wooden skewers soak in water beforehand). Add 1 slice of onions, two more chicken pieces and half a tomato (if using). Repeat this process with eight more skewers, until all the ingredients have been used up.

Cook slowly on a barbecue or under a grill (broiler), turning occasionally and brushing with any left-over marinade for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. When done, transfer to a hot serving plate, sprinkle with a little lemon juice then garnish with fresh tomato halves, green bell pepper rings and fresh parsley.

Serve immediately.
