Grilled Vegetable Skewers

Grilling is often considered to be a healthy way of eating since it uses less cooking oil.Usually different types of meat are used. I have tried vegetables for grilling. Its always good to pick firm vegetables. If not they tend to  fall of from the skewers especially after marination. You can use your choice of vegetables. Panner(Indian cheese) also can be included.

I have used 1zucchini, 2carrots, 1 broccoli bunch, 2 red potatoes, 1 white onion  and 3 different colored bell peppers. Cut the vegetables in sizes(cubes,crowns and thick round slices) that can be skewered in.
I marinated the vegetable for 1 hr.



Ingredients for Marination
Curd - 1 tbsp
sour cream - 1 tbsp
turmeric pdr - 1/2 tsp
coriander and cumin pdr - 1 tsp
chat masala pdr or garam masala pdr - 1tsp
pepper pdr to your taste
salt to your taste


Method
Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl. Add the cut vegetables to the marinate. Mix them and keep it aside closed for 45mts to 1 hr.
After one hour skewer  the vegetables. You can grill them on a grill.
If you do not have one use your oven. Preheat the oven at 375 degress. Arrange the vegetables on aluminium foil covered pan or iron skillet. Spray cooking oil so that it does not stick to the foil or the pan. Cook it for 30 to 35 mts. When it is 3/4 th cooked turn the oven to broil for 7-10 minutes.
Ovens can differ. Please check in between.
You can squeeze lemon juice before serving.
