Method

Mix together the yogurt, lime or lemon juice, curry paste and 1tsp salt in a large shallow non-metallic dish.
Cut the chicken fillets into 5cm (1in) chunks and add to the curried yogurt, tossing well to coat. Cover and leave to marinate at room temperature for 1hr.
Cut the pepper into small squares. Thread the chicken and pepper onto eight metal skewers. Cook the skewers under a medium pre-heated grill for 12-15 mins, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and is lightly charred in places.
While the skewers are cooking make the salsa: mix together the mango, spring onions and lemon or lime juice and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve hot skewers on a bed of basmati rice with mango salsa and the wedges of lime.

Top Tip for making Tandoori chicken skewers

Tandoori curry paste has a medium hot flavour; if you prefer something spicier use a Madras paste. For a milder flavour use korma or tikka masala paste. Instead of serving with rice, remove cooked chicken and peppers from skewers and serve in warm chapattis with salad and the salsa.
