Instructions
Creating Chicken Kofta with Garlic Yogurt Sauce is pretty straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Kofta Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs.
2. Mix Thoroughly: Using your hands, mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the koftas tough.
3. Shape the Koftas: Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Form the mixture into elongated meatballs or oval shapes.
4. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).
5. Cook the Koftas: Grill the koftas for about 10-12 minutes or bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and golden brown.
6. Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce: While the koftas are cooking, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
7. Garnish: If desired, chop fresh dill or mint and mix it into the yogurt sauce for added flavor.
8. Serve: Plate the koftas, drizzle with the garlic yogurt sauce, and garnish with additional herbs if you like.
These straightforward steps make it simple to enjoy a delightful meal in no time.
