Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 medium Green bell pepper (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 medium Red onion (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 100 grams Yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 6 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Clean the prawns thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the prawns to the marinade and coat them evenly. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
While the prawns are marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking. If using metal skewers, this step is not necessary.
Prepare the vegetables by cutting the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch cubes.
Thread the marinated prawns, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion alternately onto the skewers. Repeat until all the prawns and vegetables are used.
Heat a grill pan, barbecue grill, or oven grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill surface with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers onto the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, basting with oil occasionally, until the prawns are fully cooked and slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with mint chutney, naan, or steamed rice.
