Serves 4-6
INGREDIENTS
900g/2lb chicken drumsticks or thighs
1 tsp whole black peppercorns
1/2 tsp caraway or cumin seeds
4 tsp sugar
2 tsp paprika
1 piece fresh ginger, 2cm/3/4 in long
3 cloves garlic, crushed
15g/1/2 oz coriander, white root or stem, finely chopped
3 tbsp vegetable oil salt, to season
6-8 lettuce leaves, to serve
1/2 cucumber, cut into strips, to garnish
4 spring onions (scallions), trimmed, to garnish
2 limes, quartered, to garnish

Chop through the narrow end of each drumstick with a heavy knife. Score the chicken pieces deeply to allow the marinade to penetrate.

Set aside in a shallow bowl.

Grind the peppercorns, caraway or cumin seeds and sugar in a pestle and mortar or a food processor. Add the paprika, ginger, garlic,

coriander and oil and grind.

Spread the marinade over the chicken and chill for 6 hours. Cook the chicken under a moderate grill for 20 minutes, turning once. Season,

arrange on lettuce, and garnish.
