Gather @pork shoulder{600%g}, @ground cumin{1%tsp} and @ground coriander{1%tsp}.

Toast the cumin, coriander and @sichuan peppercorn{0.5%tsp} in a dry pan until fragrant, then grind coarsely.

Blend the toasted spices with @garlic{5%clove}, @ginger{25%g}, @mustard oil{2%tbsp}, @chili powder{1%tsp}, @lemon{1} juice and @salt{1%tsp} into a marinade.

Coat the pork cubes thoroughly and marinate at least 2 hours, ideally overnight. ~{2%hours}

Thread the pork onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces so the heat reaches all sides.

Grill over hot direct coals, turning occasionally, until charred outside and just cooked through, 12–15 minutes. ~{14%minutes}

Rest 3 minutes, then serve with sliced @onion{1}, lemon wedges and beaten rice or roti. ~{3%minutes}
