Instructions

Stay Awake

1 To make koftas, place all kofta ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well to ensure ingredients are distributed evenly through the mince. You may find it easier to use your hands.

2 Divide mixture into 8 even-sized portions and form into sausage shapes. Chill overnight in a sealed container if you prefer.

3 Thread koftas on skewers and spray with oil. Barbecue for 6-7 minutes, turning once to ensure even cooking.

Serve 4 Serve koftas with a squeeze of lime or lemon (if you prefer), salad and raita.
