Chicken tikka skewers are a flavorful and succulent dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. The key to making delicious chicken tikka skewers is to marinate the chicken in a flavorful blend of spices and yogurt. This will help to keep the chicken moist and tender while it cooks. Once the chicken is marinated, it is grilled or roasted until cooked through. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and healthy.

Steps:
- Put 8 wooden skewers in a bowl of water to soak. Mix the yogurt and curry paste together in a bowl, then add the chicken (if you have time, marinate for an hr or so). In a large bowl, toss together the cucumber, red onion, coriander and lemon juice. Chill until ready to serve.
- Shake off any excess marinade, then thread the chicken pieces and cherry tomatoes onto the pre-soaked skewers. Cook under a medium grill for 15-20 mins, turning from time to time, until cooked through and nicely browned.
- Stir the lettuce or pea shoots into the salad, then divide between 4 plates. Top each serving with 2 chicken tikka skewers and serve with the warm chapatis.
