Skewers

To begin, place the cardamoms, cassia, coriander and cumin into a spice grinder or pestle and mortar and grind to a fine powder

Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix well to make a fragrant marinade

Stir the meat into the marinade, coating each chunk evenly. Transfer to the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour

Thread the marinated meat onto the metal skewers, leaving a gap between them. Reserve any remaining marinade for basting

Preheat an oven to 180°C/gas mark 4

Place the kebabs on an oven tray, cover with foil and cook in the oven for 20 minutes

Remove the foil, turn the kebabs over and coat with the remaining marinade

Place the kebabs back in the oven and cook for a further 10–20 minutes, until the meat is soft and tender. Serve immediately
