Note

For best results, use ripe but firm plums for the sauce to achieve a balance of sweetness and tartness.

If fresh coriander is unavailable, substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried coriander, though the flavor will be less vibrant.

The plum sauce can be made up to two days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving.

Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your preferred heat level.

Ensure the rotisserie spit is properly balanced to prevent uneven cooking or motor strain.
