  • Natural yogurt - 4 tbsp
  • Tomato paste - 2 tbsp
  • Sesame oil - 2 tbsp
  • Ground cumin - 4 tsp
  • Paprika - 4 tsp
  • Ground coriander - 2 tsp
  • Ground turmeric - 2 tsp

Method

Mix together the yogurt, tomato paste, oil, cumin, paprika, coriander, turmeric, chilli powder, salt and garlic in a small bowl until well combined. Or alternatively mix the 4tbsp of yoghurt with tandoori paste and marinate the salmon pieces and cover in the refrigerator, for at least 1 hour.

Thread the salmon pieces evenly onto each skewer. Cook the skewers for 10 minutes, turning and brushing regularly with any remaining marinade, so that each side is char-grilled and the salmon is cooked through.

Variations: Use other firm fi h such as monk-fish, tuna or even mackerel fillets work well with tandoori marinades.
