Method

  • step 1

    Mix together all the ingredients until well blended. Divide into eight balls, then roll each ball on a board with a cupped hand to turn them into ovals. Thread onto four metal skewers and brush with oil.

    To cook on a griddle: heat the pan until you can feel a good heat rising and cook for 3-4 mins each side. Don’t turn until they are well sealed or the meat will stick to the grill or pan.

    Season if you want, and set aside. Serve the koftas with yogurt and spiced flat breads.

Definitely triple the seasoning at a MINIMUM. Add an egg and a handful of breadcrumbs if you have some. Generous pinch of chilli flakes and season with salt and pepper. I baked mine for 30 mins at 200C and they came out absolutely perfectly!
