Peri Peri Chicken Tikka Seekh is for the table that wants heat with a citrusy edge, built around a peri peri-style marinade of chilli, garlic, paprika, and a touch of vinegar or lemon that gives the seekh a tangy kick rather than a flat burn. The chilli builds gradually rather than hitting all at once, and the acidity in the marinade helps keep the minced chicken tender even as it chars on the grill. It's a strong match for a barbecue night, served straight off the skewer with a cooling side like garlic yoghurt dip or a simple cucumber salad to balance the spice, and it also works well shredded into a spicy wrap or piled onto a loaded platter with grilled vegetables.

Because peri peri marinades tend to have more sugar and oil than a plain tandoori mix, watch the heat closely while grilling so the outside caramelises nicely without burning before the centre is done. Always cook the skewers through completely, with no pink remaining, and turn them often for an even char. Refrigerate what you don't cook right away and use within a day or two, or freeze it for a future barbecue.
