Description

A delightful and flavorful chicken kofta dish served with creamy garlic yogurt sauce, perfect for gatherings and comfort food.


Ingredients

  • 500 grams ground chicken
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
  2. Form the mixture into small, oval-shaped koftas, ensuring they are compact.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the koftas for about 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are cooked through and have a lovely char.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to prepare a simple garlic yogurt sauce.
  6. Serve the grilled koftas with the garlic yogurt sauce on the side.

Notes

Avoid overworking the chicken mixture for fluffier koftas. Skewers can help with even cooking.
