Method:

Wash and clean the meat. Cut chicken into 1.5 inch size cubes.
Blend the masalas listed under Tikka together in a mixing bowl.
Keep the chicken pieces marinated in that masala for 2 hours (room temp.) or overnight inside the refrigerator.

Soak the bamboo skewers in water more than 1 hour.

Cut 2 colorful bellpeppers. 

Thread the pieces of meat and bell pepper in the skewer with a little spacing. Bake them in oven at 425 F for 15 mins one side. Then flip and bake for 10 mins. Then broil it both sides.
(Instead the pieces can be grilled or deep fried also).
