Notes
1. If you want a quick appetizer bake the veggies without marination. sprinkle pepper powder and salt while tasting
2. Multi colored capsicum/ bell pepper can also be added with other vegetable
3. Use extra firm tofu otherwise it might break while inserting in skewers
4.Immerse the skewers in cold water for 15 min to avoid browning, if you are using wooden skewers. Metal skewers can be directly used
