2 teaspoons dried turmeric
1 onion, roughly chopped
5cm piece fresh ginger, chopped

Description
On Bali, traditonal 'sate' is made with minced chicken and spices. The mixture is pressed around a wide stick and barbecued over hot embers - delicious!
Method
Put all the ingredients, except the chicken mince, in a mortar and pestle or food processor and grind or process to form a thick paste. Put the paste in a bowl with the chicken mince and stir to combine.
Take 2 tablespoons of the mixture and wrap it around one-third of each skewer, pressing it on firmly. It can be tricky at first, but you'll get the knack with a bit of practice. Continue until all the mixture has been used.
Heat a barbecue or grill to hot and cook the skewers until cooked through, turning often.
Serve with a selection of dipping sauces, such as store-bought sweet chilli sauce and Peanut Sauce
