Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Kofta Skewers

   Prepare the Grilled Vegetables

   Toss bell peppers and zucchini with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill alongside the kofta skewers until tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

   In a bowl, mix grated cucumber, yogurt, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and refrigerate until serving.
