½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime or ½ a lemon

Curry Yoghurt Sauce:
3 tablespoons Greek Style Unsweetened Yoghurt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
½ teaspoon curry powder

- Now mix the curry yoghurt sauce. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Heat a chargrill pan or your barbecue plate until medium-hot.
- Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers. Place on the hot grill and grill for about 3 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through. Place on a serving plate and drizzle over the lime or lemon juice.
- Serve with the curry yoghurt sauce, steamed rice and naan bread. Extra limes are good too.
