Method

  • step 1

    Mix together all the ingredients until well blended. Divide into eight balls, then roll each ball on a board with a cupped hand to turn them into ovals. Thread onto four metal skewers and brush with oil.

  • step 2

    To cook on a griddle: heat the pan until you can feel a good heat rising and cook for 3-4 mins each side. Don’t turn until they are well sealed or the meat will stick to the grill or pan.

  • step 3

    Season if you want, and set aside. Serve the koftas with yogurt and spiced flat breads.

question

Can I add dried rosemary to this recipe

tip

Definitely triple the seasoning at a MINIMUM. Add an egg and a handful of breadcrumbs if you have some. Generous pinch of chilli flakes and season with salt and pepper. I baked mine for 30 mins at 200C and they came out absolutely perfectly!

Oh also a finely chopped red onion

question

Could these be frozen once made in their raw state?

Yes and if cooked!

Needs much more spice and some salt. Very rare to find a 5 star BBC Goodfood recipe that doesn’t live up to expectations!

Marianne Rodney

V tasty. Recipe doesn’t mention salt and pepper but is apparent from video. No need to bind with egg if mash together with fingers as per video
