Instructions
Follow these instructions to create your delectable Irresistible Chicken Kofta with Creamy Garlic Yogurt Sauce:
1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and breadcrumbs.
2. Mix Well: Use your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. This ensures even flavor throughout the kofta.
3. Shape the Kofta: Take a handful of the mixture and form it into elongated patties or sausage shapes. Aim for about 4-6 kofta, depending on the size you prefer.
4. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Cook the Kofta: If grilling, cook each kofta for about 4-5 minutes on each side until well browned and cooked through. If baking, place the kofta on the prepared sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
6. Prepare the Sauce: While the kofta cooks, mix together the yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning as needed.
7. Garnish the Sauce: If desired, add chopped fresh dill or mint to the yogurt sauce for added flavor and color.
8. Serve the Kofta: Once the kofta is cooked, remove them from the grill or oven, and let them rest for a few minutes.
9. Plate the Dish: Serve the kofta with a generous dollop of the creamy garlic yogurt sauce on top or on the side for dipping.
10. Adjust Accompaniments: Feel free to add pita bread, fresh vegetables, or rice to the plate, making it a more complete meal.
