|---|---|
| 2 lbs chicken breasts, skinned, boned, cut into 1-in cubes (or large shrimps) Melted butter for basting | 1 teaspoon pepper corn |
| Bamboo skewers (pre-soaked for at least 30 min. in cold water) | 1 teaspoon timur |
| 2 cup Nepali yoghurt | 2 cloves garlic |
| 1 tablespoons lemon juice | 1 in ginger |
| 2 tablespoons mustard oil | 1 tablespoon fresh dill weed, chopped |
| 1 cup onions, roughly chopped | 1 cup celery, chopped |
| 1 tablespoon cumin seeds | 1 tablespoon soya sauce |

| 1/2 teaspoon turmeric | 1/4 cup green onions, cut in 1-in length |

Method
- In a blender combine all the marinating ingredients to form a marinade.
- In a large bowl mix chicken with the marinade. Marinate for at least 6 hours.
- Fire up a charcoal grill. Clean the grill surface thoroughly. Thread the marinated chicken cubes into skewers.
- Do not overcrowd the pieces. Grill the skewered chicken cubes, frequently turning and basting with melted butter until cooked through.
- Take off the grill and brush the cooked sekuwas with butter before serving.
- Arrange the sekuwas on the bed of rice pilaf and stir-fried vegetables.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions over the sekuwas. Chilli-cilantro chutney makes an ideal condiment for the sekuwas.
