  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for grilling)
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated or minced
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the kofta mixture for heat, or swap in ground lamb for a richer flavor.

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
  2. Shape the mixture into oval patties or logs using wet hands to prevent sticking.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush with olive oil.
  4. Grill kofta for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

  6. Serve the kofta on a platter drizzled with garlic yogurt sauce alongside warm pita or rice.
