16 wooden skewers, soaked in water overnight

2 T. lemon juice ($.05)
1 tsp. garam masala ($.05)

1 1/2 lb. boneless chicken ($2.18)
2 medium red bell peppers, cut into thick chunks ($.40)
2-3 medium yellow onions, cut into thick rings ($.10)

Cut chicken into thin ribbons, season with salt and pepper. Mix well all ingredients except chicken, salt and pepper, bell pepper, and onion. Set aside 1/4 of the marinade mixture for dipping sauce.

Alternate threading chicken, pepper, and onion onto skewers, using one to two pieces each of per skewer. Soak in marinade for 2 hours.

Place on a hot grill or on a well greased grill pan and grill for 4-6 minutes, turning over once (when chicken pulls back from the grill, it's time to turn it over). Serve with reserved dipping sauce.

Yields = 16 skewers
Cost: $2.48
Cost per skewer: $.16

Serves well with basmati or jasmine rice, aloo (Indian style potatoes), and salad.
