Method

1. For the marinade: in a large bowl mix together all the ingredients for the marinade to make a paste. Add the quails, rubbing the marinade into them and leave aside for 1 hour.

2. Cook the quails on a hot barbecue or under a hot grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, until cooked through.

Cook's note: to make curd cheese, spoon 400ml set Greek yogurt into a piece of muslin. Secure with string and hang over a bowl overnight - the liquid drains away and you're left with firm curd cheese in the muslin.
