Preparation
- Heat a frypan over medium heat. Add green cardamom seeds, mustard seeds, chili and curry leaves and toast until fragrant. Remove from the pan and allow to cool.
- Blanch the coriander in boiling water, then refresh in iced water. Drain well and squeeze to remove excess water. Place the blanched coriander leaves, ginger and garlic into a small food processor. Add 1 tablespoon of yoghurt and 2 tablespoons of water. Add toasted spices blend until smooth. Add a little more water if necessary to get a nice sauce-like texture. Set aside.

- Cut the chicken into 3cm pieces and place into a bowl with the spices, yoghurt and salt. Mix together and marinate for at least ½ hour.
- Thread the chicken onto the skewers with the green capsicum and onion. (If using wooden, soak in warm water for 15 minutes). Brush with 1/3 of the chutney. Heat a BBQ or chargrill pan over medium-high heat. Add the skewers and cook for 10 minutes, turning, until charred and cooked through. Alternatively, pop into the airfryer 200ºC for 8 minutes or until golden and just cooked.
- Serve with the remaining chutney and a green salad.
