Chicken Shashlik

For the chicken to marinate in:

1 kilo chicken breast cubes
1 tbls minced ginger and garlic
1 tbls soya sauce and vinegar 
1/2 tbls lemon juice 
1 tsp sumac, or, 1/2 black salt
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp red chilli flakes


Veggies for sauce and seekhs, cut in cubes:

1 large green capsicum
1/2 kilo tomatoes, remove insides and set aside
3, 4 small onions
1 tbls soya sauce
1/2 tbls white vinegar
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp white pepper
oil

For the sauce

the insides of the tomatoes, chopped
125 ml tomato paste
1 tsp red chili
1/2 tsp, or to taste, salt
1 tbls soya sauce
1/2 tbls vinegar
oil


Method:


1- marinate the chicken in all the given spices, cover and set aside for at least an hour
2- after the hour is over,  make seekhs of almost all the cubes adding capsicum, onion and tomato, leaving just about a quarter cup of the cubes. Brush with oil and let the skewers rest.
3- heat oil in a pan and throw in the remaining veggies, adding all the spices for them. Fry for a few minutes and remove from heat. Fry the remaining chicken cubes, and add them to the veggies 
4- make the sauce, add to the chicken/veggie mixture. 
5- grill the seekhs - or fry them, as u wish.I half fried and half grilled. That went quicker. Keep warm
