Description

Indulge in the flavors of Chicken Kofta paired with a creamy garlic yogurt sauce, a delightful taste of the Middle East.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
  2. Shape the Koftas: Wet your hands slightly and form small oval-shaped koftas—about the size of an egg.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush it lightly with olive oil.
  4. Grill the Koftas: Place the koftas on the grill, cooking them for about 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce: Mix the yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Plate your grilled koftas alongside the garlic yogurt sauce.

Notes

Make the kofta mixture a day in advance for enhanced flavors. If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 20 minutes.
