Tandoori Prawn Skewers

Don't panic if you don't have a tandoori oven in the backyard, these work well on the BBQ or even just in the oven.. :)

1/2kg prawns, peeled, devained and tails OFF. (sorry, alot of people leave tails on for show.. stupid if you ask me. :) )
1 cup natural plain yoghurt
3 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground or fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground coriander seeds or just some fresh bunch coriander chopped
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon ground (making sure it's not Cinnamon SUGAR! :) )
1/2 teaspoon ground fenugreek seeds
1/2 teaspoon cardamon seed gound

(those measurements are all guestimates. add as much as you see fit!)

Mix all spices with yoghurt in a bowl, add prawns and coat well. Leave to marinade for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
Soak skewers in water during this time.
Skewer 4 or more prawns per stick, and grill, bake or whack them in your fancy tandoori outdoor oven! Prawns cook quick, so, 10 minutes.
