Instructions
Chicken Kofta
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan on medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes, then blitz the toasted pine nuts in a food processor with the onion and parsley.
- Mix the pine nuts, spices, fresh parsley and ground chicken in a bowl.
- Make sure your kofta mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Using a 3 tablespoon measure, scoop out your kofta and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil on medium high in a heavy bottomed pan then add your kofta.
- When a crust forms, the kofta will release cleanly to turn, about 5 minutes. Turn the kofta and sear on all sides, about 10 more minutes. If they start to look too crisp, turn the heat down to medium.
Yogurt Sauce
- Mix the yogurt sauce ingredients and place in the fridge while you cook your kofta.
Serving
- Serve your kofta with a drizzle of yogurt sauce, sliced onions and pita, and quartered tomatoes.
