1 punnet cherry tomatoes

Smoked paprika

Bamboo skewers

  2. Season with salt, pepper and smoked paprika.
  3. Heat your Megamaster braai to medium heat, and cook skewers until chicken is cooked through and golden.

MEGAMASTER RECIPE TIPS

For a low carb option, serve with cauliflower rice or salad instead of a roti.

Tip 03 Tip 03

Make your own tsatsiki by combining 1 cup Greek yoghurt with 1/2 cup finely diced cucumber, 2 crushed garlic cloves and the juice of 1 lemon. Season with salt and pepper.
