Super Easy Chicken Shashlik

Ingredients:

• 1½ tsp salt
• ¹/8 tsp mustard powder
• ½ tsp white pepper powder
• 1 ½ tsp garam masala or all spice
• 1 tsp oil (mustard/ sesame or peanut)
• 2 ½ Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp finely minced mint leaves
• 2 tsp finely minced coriander leaves
• 2 tsp garlic paste
• 2 large chicken breasts (skinless/boneless) – about 3 cups when sliced
• 2 green capsicum
• 2 purple onions
• 2 -3 large tomatoes
• 1 tsp chili powder
• ½ tsp salt

• Lemon wedges  for serving

Method:

• Clean and rinse chicken pieces thoroughly.
• Cut the chicken into small rectangle slices, just large enough to thread on to a skewer. (Keeping the pieces smaller, ensures the chicken will be cooked quickly on the stove top).
• Slice the tomato in such a way that flesh is sliced into rectangle pieces, we do not want the seeds and juicy portion.
• Also slice the onion into rectangle pieces with 2-3 layers of onion intact.
• Marinate the chicken with all the ingredients. Slice vegetables while the chicken marinates.
• Add the chili powder and salt to the vegetables and toss to coat.
• Soak small bamboo skewers and thread the vegetables alternately with a piece of chicken in between each.
• Heat a grill pan with just a thin layer of oil.
• Place the skewers over the pan as it heats up.
• Maintain a steady sizzle.
• Turn the skewers over after 3 minutes and then keep turning them every minute till evenly charred and cooked through. I recommend checkin one piece of chicken to make sure.
• The grilling should take only 8  minutes or so for a single batch.
• Immediately wrap the skewers with foil paper and allow to steam in its own heat till serving time.
• Serve with lemon wedges, scented pilaf rice, salad and yoghurt based sauce or gravy.
