  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

For the Chicken Kofta:
– 1 pound ground chicken
– 1 small onion, finely grated
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 egg, lightly beaten
– Skewers (wooden or metal)

For the Creamy Garlic Yogurt Sauce:
– 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: additional herbs for garnish (like dill or mint)


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.
