Spiced chicken and eggplant skewers Braai

Spiced Chicken and Eggplant Skewers are a delicious and aromatic addition to your braai. Tender chunks of marinated chicken and smoky eggplant are threaded onto skewers, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. The chicken is infused with a blend of spices, providing a warm and savory taste, while the eggplant absorbs the marinade, becoming perfectly charred and flavorful on the grill. These skewers are not only visually appealing but also bursting with delightful, mouth-watering flavors, making them an ideal choice for a memorable braai experience.

Ingredients:

  • 450g chicken thigh fillets, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 1 medium eggplant, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 6 sprigs curry leaves
  • 1/3 cup (100g) eggplant pickle (from Indian/asian supermarket)
