Recipe of the week: spiced chicken skewers by Maunika Gowardhan

Made with pickling spices, mustard and chilli, the flavours lend an intense taste to the tikka

This recipe has always been a family favourite, says Maunika Gowardhan. The achari spice mix includes fennel, cumin, mustard and nigella seeds, all coarsely crushed, but the secret is using mustard oil – which is available online or from Asian grocers. I recommend keeping a small bottle in your store cupboard. The pungent, savoury flavour lends an intense taste to the tikka.
