Step 3 – Heat a griddle pan or you can do this on the barbeque and then grill the skewers on all sides, brushing with ghee as you go. They should be slightly charred on each side.

Step 4 – While the skewers cook, place all the ingredients for the raita into a bowl and mix it together to form a lovely sauce.

Step 5 – Smear the raita onto a toasted pita or naan, top with the charred skewers and then top with a little more sauce, pickled onions, and coriander.
