Method

Preparation of Kofte

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and the beaten egg.

  2. 2

    Mix Well

    Using your hands, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Ensure that the mixture is homogeneous and sticky enough to hold its shape.

  3. 3

    Shape Kofte

    Wet your hands slightly and take a portion of the mixture to form elongated patties (kofte), about 5-7 cm in length and 2-3 cm in width. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped.

Cooking Kofte

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Cook Kofte

    Carefully place the shaped kofte in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain

    Once cooked, transfer the kofte onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Arrange the cooked kofte on a serving platter. Serve with a side of yogurt for dipping, lemon wedges, and garnish with fresh parsley.

  2. 8

    Enjoy!

    Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Chicken Kofte!
