ideal for a BBQ too. The name ‘Sheek’ comes from being cooked on a stick or a skewer.

Ingredients:

Metho

Put the pepper and onion in a separate bowl. Drizzle 5 tablespoon of oil on them. Mix well and keep aside.

Marinate the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1½ teaspoon cumin powder, 1½
teaspoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon chillie powder, ½ teaspoon coriander powder, 2 teaspoon ginger paste, 1 medium
onion grated and 5 tablespoon oil.

Put all the ingredients in a skewer. Make a pattern with 1 piece onion, 1 piece pepper, 1 piece onion, 2 pieces of
chicken and do it twice to complete the kebab.

Put under a very hot grill, turning occasionally until thoroughly cooked. If using a home oven, roast it for 20 minutes
on 210 ºC. Grill for the last 5 minutes on highest grill setting possible.

Squeeze some lime juice on to. Serve hot as a starter or a main course with rice and chutney!

Variation:

Blend mint leaves, fresh coriander leaves, garlic, saffron strands, cinnamon, green chillies and lemon juice in a blender.

Marinate chicken pieces in this paste. Brush ghee on the marinated chicken and grill until cooked.

Tips:

Wash the wooden skewers in cold water before piercing them with the marinated chicken and vegetables. This

prevents them from burning!
