2. Chilli powder- 1 tsp

3. Pepper powder- 1/2 tsp

4. Tomato ketchup- 7 tbsp

5. Worcestershire sauce- 2 tbsp

6. Ginger Garlic paste- 1 tbsp

15. Oil- 2 tbsp

16. Olive oil- as needed

Marinate Chicken with 1/2 tsp of Chilli powder, salt, Ginger Garlic paste, 2 tbsp of Tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and Pepper powder. Refrigerate overnight.

Cut Capsicum and Tomato into halves and remove seeds.  Cut the flesh into 3 cm pieces. Cut Onion into quarters and separate the layers.

For the sauce, mix together Vinegar, 5 tbsp of Tomato ketchup, 1/2 tsp Chilli powder, Sugar, 1 tsp Salt, Garlic paste and oil in a bowl. Blend it well and keep aside.

Skew Chicken and Vegetables closely on skewers. For faster melting Chicken, always skew Tomato piece after Chicken. Grill on a grill pan or a normal simple frying pan greased with Olive oil.

This will take approximately 10 minutes. 

Serve hot and enjoy.
