In a bowl, crush beans lightly with a fork. Add tomatoes, chillies, onion, chopped coriander and 2 to 3 tbsp oil. Mix well and season to taste with a pinch of sugar, lime juice, salt and ground black pepper.
Season the chicken with salt and tandoori spices and grill all over, on an oiled grill or barbecue, for around 10 minutes.
