Instructions
Creating Flavor-Packed Chicken Koftas is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, cilantro, parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
2. Add the Egg: Crack the egg into the mixture and add breadcrumbs. This will help bind the ingredients together.
3. Mix Thoroughly: Use your hands to mix all the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want a cohesive mixture.
4. Shape the Koftas: Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking. Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into oval or cylindrical patties or form them around skewers for grilling.
5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
6. Cook the Koftas: Add the shaped koftas to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Remove and Drain: Once cooked, remove the koftas from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
By following these steps, you will have delicious, Flavor-Packed Chicken Koftas ready to serve!
