Spicy Indian barbecue marinade recipe

• 2 small onions, red or white - your preference
• 1 red pepper OR 10g tomato puree
• 50 ml (1.8fl oz) plain yoghurt
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 cloves garlic
• 30 g (1.1oz) fresh ginger
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 handful fresh coriander (leaves and stems)
• 1 large fresh red chilli pepper, deseeded, OR 1 tbsp chilli powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 2 tbsp honey OR tamarind paste

1. Blitz all marinade ingredients together in a blender until smooth.
2. (Alternatively, chop all whole ingredients as finely as possible and mix together with the remaining items, or pound in a pestle and mortar.)
3. Cover, chill and store until required, or immediately use the mixture to thoroughly coat your meat, fish or veg and leave to marinate as directed in the introduction.
4. When ready to cook, heat some flavourless oil (choose one with a high smoke point), infusing it with curry leaves, cinnamon and cardamom for added flavour, before adding your marinated meat, fish or veg and frying until cooked and tender.
5. Now you have two choices; you can eat this as it is as a dry dish with naan and salad, or add water or coconut milk and allow it to cook into a cracking curry perfect with mounds of fluffy rice!
