Know more about our calculations

Repeat until the skewer is full, leaving a small gap at each end. Aim to get 4-5 pieces of tuna on each skewer.

Continue until all ingredients are used, making about 8 skewers.

Grill the skewers

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Lightly brush the grill grates with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
Place the skewers on the hot grill, ensuring they don't touch.
Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the tuna is cooked through and the vegetables have a nice char.
Baste with any leftover marinade during the first half of grilling.

Garnish and serve

Once cooked, transfer the skewers to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

Pro Tips

1Soaking the wooden skewers is crucial to prevent them from catching fire on the grill.
2Do not overcook the tuna, as it can become dry and tough. It should be just opaque and flake easily.
3Cut the vegetables and tuna into similar-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
4For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of chaat masala along with the garnish.
5If you don't have a grill, you can bake these skewers in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through.
