Method
- 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.
- 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.
- Meanwhile, grill the chicken for 15 mins, turning. Serve with the sauce, topped with flakes of coconut.
