Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix yogurt, olive oil, garlic paste, red chili powder, paprika,
black pepper, and salt. Add the chicken cubes and coat them evenly. Cover and
let it marinate for at least 30 minutes for juicy and flavorful results.
2. Prepare the Vegetables
Slice the onion, capsicum, and tomato into medium-sized pieces. Keep the slices
thick so they don’t overcook on the grill.
3. Assemble the Skewers
Thread the skewers by alternating chicken cubes with vegetable slices. This
layering not only enhances flavor but also gives the skewers a colorful,
appetizing look.
4. Grill or Pan-Cook
Heat a grill pan or barbecue and lightly grease it. Place the skewers and cook
on medium heat for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken
is fully cooked and slightly charred.
5. Serve Hot
Once done, remove the skewers and let them rest for a minute. Serve hot with
mint chutney, garlic sauce, or a fresh salad.
