North Indian Bihari Goat Kebab

The fruit in this recipe is traditional and the papaya in particular tenderises as well as sweetens the meat.

Serves 4

1 small red onion - ½ very finely chopped, ½ thinly sliced

2 cloves of garlic - finely chopped

Fresh ginger - finely chopped to make 2 tsp

50g fresh papaya or mango (or if you can find papaya powder use that - or even amchoor - dried sour mango powder)
