Instructions

1
Whisk the yogurt, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, Kashmiri chili, salt and the achari flavourings into a thick marinade.
2
Coat the potato completely and marinate for at least an hour — overnight is better still.
3
Thread onto skewers with a little space between pieces.
4
Roast in a 220°C oven (or over coals) for 15-18 minutes, turning once and basting with melted butter.
5
Let the edges char properly — tikka without char is just warm meat.
6
Rest 3 minutes, sprinkle with chaat masala and squeeze over lemon.
7
Serve with a quick mint-cilantro chutney and onion rings.

Chef's tip

High heat, short time: tikka toughens if cooked slow.
