Kofta Ingredients

Method

Kofta Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Kofta Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, and olive oil. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Kofta

    Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a portion of the mixture and shape it into elongated patties or cylinders, about 4 inches long. Place them on a plate and set aside.

Chicken Kabob Preparation

  1. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a separate bowl, combine chicken cubes, yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

  2. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Cut the bell pepper and onion into squares. These will be used to skewer with the chicken.

  3. 5

    Skewer the Chicken and Vegetables

    Thread the marinated chicken cubes, bell pepper squares, and onion squares onto skewers, alternating between the chicken and vegetables.

Grilling

  1. 6

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 7

    Grill the Kofta

    Place the shaped kofta on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely charred.

  3. 8

    Grill the Chicken Kabobs

    Place the chicken and vegetable skewers on the grill. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
