Print Recipe

A flavorful Middle-Eastern dish featuring juicy chicken kofta paired with a creamy, tangy garlic yogurt sauce.

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

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Shape the Kofta: Use wet hands to take a small amount of the mixture and form it into oval-shaped patties or skewers.
  3. Cook the Kofta: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the kofta in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
  4. Make the Garlic Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Enjoy: Serve the kofta drizzled with the garlic yogurt sauce, garnished with additional parsley or lemon wedges.

Notes

For a refreshing twist, try adding grated cucumber to the yogurt sauce. This recipe can be made ahead of time and frozen for convenience.
