Method
- Preheat a grill or barbecue to medium. Mix the chicken, tandoori, yogurt, mint and half each of the coriander, cumin, ginger and garlic. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Thread the chicken onto 12 skewers (if using wooden skewers soak them in water for 30 minutes first), then grill or barbecue for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and remaining cumin and stir for 2 minutes, until popping. Add the chillies, turmeric, remaining ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the beans and a dash of water, stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, then add the remaining coriander. Serve with the chicken skewers and rotis or chapatis.
