Method

1. Cut the chicken into four pieces across the backbone and across its width. Using a sharp knife, make a 2-3 slits over each piece, sprinkle over a little salt and the turmeric and set aside.

2. Put all the remaining ingredients, except the vegetable oil, in a food processor and blitz to a fine paste. Spread this over the chicken pieces, rubbing it into the gashes, cover and leave in the fridge to marinade for at least 4 hours.

3. Heat the oil on a hot plate or griddle, over a high heat. Cook the chicken for 2 minutes on all sides to brown, then lower the heat and cook for another 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
