Method

  1. Marinate the chicken in 100ml coconut milk and 1tbsp tikka paste and season with salt and pepper. Leave overnight or for at least 4hrs, then thread onto skewers.
  2. Heat half the oil in a sauté pan and cook the onions for 10-15 mins until very soft. Add the garam masala, turmeric, chilli powder and ginger and garlic pastes and stir well for a minute. Stir in the coconut and plenty of seasoning, then blend with a hand-held blender. Return to the pan and add a splash of water and 200ml coconut milk (or more if you prefer a looser sauce) and warm through.
  3. Meanwhile, grill the chicken for 15 mins, turning. Serve with the sauce, topped with flakes of coconut.
