Ingredients

1 heaped tsp cumin seeds
4 skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
1 tsp smoked sweet paprika
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 small orange or 1/2 large, zested and juiced, plus wedges to serve
2 tbsp olive oil

  1. Toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan until fragrant then grind to a powder using a pestle and mortar.

  2. Put the chicken in a shallow bowl with all the other ingredients, plus some freshly ground black pepper. Toss in the marinade, then cover and leave at room temperature  for 1 hour (or in the fridge overnight).

  3. Heat a large griddle or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken generously with salt, mix well and then add to the pan without shaking off any excess marinade. Leave for 2-3 minutes without moving, to char and brown, then turn the chicken pieces over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, until cooked through - you might need to do this in two batches. Skewer, if you like, and serve with extra orange wedges for squeezing over.
