Ingredients for Indian-Spiced Chicken, Aubergine, and Tomato Skewers

• 4 garlic cloves, finely grated

• 1 (3") piece ginger, finely grated

• 1 (400g) can coconut milk

• 3 teaspoons finely grated lime zest

• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

• 3 teaspoons kosher salt

• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric

• 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper

• 1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom

• 900g boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2" cubes

• 1 medium aubergine, cut into 1 1/2" cubes

• 1 small red onion, cut into 2" pieces

• 575ml cherry tomatoes

• Canola or vegetable oil (for grill)

• Naan or flatbread, coriander, lime wedges, and plain yoghurt (for serving)

• 14 (8–12-inch-long) metal or bamboo skewers soaked in water at least 1 hour

Whisk garlic, ginger, coconut milk, lime zest and juice, tomato paste, salt, turmeric, cayenne, and cardamom in a large bowl. Transfer half of marinade to another large bowl. Add chicken to 1 bowl of marinade; toss to coat. Add aubergine, onion, and tomatoes to the other bowl; toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.

Thread each ingredient onto its own set of skewers: divide chicken among 6 skewers, tomatoes among 4, aubergine among 3, and onion on 1.

Prepare a grill or grill pan for high heat; generously oil grates. Grill skewers, turning often, until well charred and cooked through, about 5 minutes for tomatoes, 10 minutes for chicken, and 15 minutes for aubergine and onion.

Just before serving, toast naan on grill until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Top grilled chicken and vegetables with coriander and serve with naan, lime wedges, and yoghurt alongside.

Ingredients can be marinated 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Skewers can be assembled 1 day ahead; cover and chill.
