Instructions
Creating this Irresistible Chicken Kofta is a delightful experience. Follow these steps to ensure your dish turns out perfectly:
1. Prepare the Kofta Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and beaten egg. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the Koftas: Take a handful of the mixture and mold it around skewer sticks to form oblong shapes. Ensure they are compact and have a uniform thickness for even cooking.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
4. Cook the Koftas: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the koftas are browned and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
5. Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce: While the koftas are grilling, mix together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Adjust to taste as desired.
6. Serve Hot: Once the koftas are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
