Indian-style skewers with red onion salsa

1. Mix together the groundnut oil, garlic, ginger, coriander, curry paste and yogurt in a large dish until well
blended. Thread the fi llet pieces on to small skewers, add to the dish and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover and chill for 2 hours or overnight.

2. Mix together the onion, cider vinegar, sumac and olive oil and leave to marinate for 2 hours, stirring once.

3. Cook the kebabs on a lightly oiled barbecue, frying pan or under a hot grill, turning occasionally until golden.

4. Splash the pitta breads with a little water and then cook on the barbecue, frying pan or under a hot grill, turning once during cooking until hot. Remove from the heat and split open. Fill with salad leaves and chopped tomatoes.

5. Using a fork, remove the fi llet pieces from the skewers and stuff them inside the pitta breads. Top with sliced cucumber and the onion salsa.
