Ingredients
Scale
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into small oval-shaped koftas, roughly the size of an egg.
- Preheat the grill, brushing it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the koftas for about 10-12 minutes. Turn them occasionally to ensure even cooking until fully cooked through.
- While the koftas are grilling, prepare the garlic yogurt sauce. In a separate bowl, stir together the yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Serve the grilled koftas warm alongside the garlic yogurt sauce for dipping.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to preserve juiciness. For freezing, arrange on a baking sheet and freeze individually before transferring to a freezer bag.
