Preparation

Step 1

Combine garlic, coriander, turmeric, dried mustard, ground cloves, chili powder and aniseed in small bowl. Place chicken in 1 glass baking dish and vegetables in another. Sprinkle each with half of spice mixture. Add half of olive oil and half of fresh lime juice to each and mix to coat well. Cover and refrigerate 6 to 8 hours.

Soak skewers in water 30 minutes. Drain. Alternate chicken and vegetables on skewers. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Prepare barbecue (medium heat) or preheat broiler. Season kebabs with salt and pepper. Grill until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to platter.
