Grilled Chicken-Vegetable Kababs

Few days ago, we had some friends visiting us. One friend suggested I make ragda pattis for them, I wanted to make something else for starters. Most of these friends are chicken lovers, so I thought of making chicken kababs. There is something very interesting about chicken on skewers – my family is not a big fan of skewers, but I love the look of them. Just to make them more interesting, I added some capsicum (green bellpeppers) and pineapple to them.

These were so easy to make – the time consuming thing was to put them on skewers and then grilling them. I did skewering while watching IPL match – Ohh, I am a big Rahul Dravid fan and loved watching him bat!.  I would have baked them, but I had enough time left before my friends arrived. So I went ahead with grilling them on my cast iron grill pan. They went very well with green chutney that I prepared for ragda pattis. They were all gone in minutes. I wish I had prepared more!.

Ingredients:
1 lb(approx 0.45kg) boneless chicken
1 capsicum (green pepper)
10-12 pineapple pieces
2 tea spns ginger garlic paste
1  tea spn cumin powder
1 tea spn coriander powder
2 tbl spns thick yogurt(curd)
1 tea spn chilli powder
Salt

Method:
Mix together yogurt, ginger garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, chili powder, salt in a bowl.
Add about 3/4 th of the marinade paste to chicken pieces and keep aside for 4-5hrs.
Add remaining marinade to pineapple and capsicum pieces, mix well.

Skewer chicken and vegetables.
Heat a grill pan and grill them till chicken is done.
Serve hot.
