In a bowl, mix all the spices, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, tomato purée, oil, and coriander. Slice chicken into 1.5cm thick stripes. Add the diced chicken and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15–30 mins or overnight. 2. Soak wooden skewers in water for 20–30 mins (to stop them burning). Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers. 3. Fry on a preheated pan with some oil for 3 mins each side. 1. Cut any large potatoes in half, leaving the skin on. Tip into a large saucepan of water. Bring to boil, then simmer for 15-20 mins, or until tender when pierced with a knife. 2. Heat about a quarter of the butter in a saucepan, then fry the bacon and half the cabbage in it for 5 mins. Turn off the heat and set aside. Drain the potatoes in a colander and peel while still hot. 3. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Heat the cream with the remaining butter and, when almost boiling, mix into the potato. Add the bacon and cabbage and mix. Season to taste with black pepper and salt.
