Garlic-ginger paste in a mortar
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 knob ginger
Bash the garlic and ginger with a tiny sprinkle of salt in a mortar and pestle to a rough paste.

  • 6 whole boneless skinless chicken thighs
Halve each chicken thigh lengthwise and cut across into chunks; put in a large bowl on a scale.

  • 4 g ground cumin
  • 1 spoonful Kashmiri chili powder

Add the salt, MSG, lime juice, cumin, Kashmiri chili powder, turmeric, black pepper, Greek yogurt, tomato paste and the garlic-ginger paste; mix by hand until completely coated.
Spread the chicken on a baking sheet with space between every piece, using two trays if needed, so the liquid steams off and the edges char.
