Ingredients

4 servings
Onion0.5 medium
Garlic3 cloves
Paprika1 tsp
Cumin0.5 tsp
Parsley3 tbsp
Salt0.75 tsp
Black pepper0.25 tsp
Olive oil2 tbsp
Pita bread4 pieces
Cucumber1 medium
Red onion0.5 medium
Lemon1 whole
Tahini0.25 cup

Method

1

Finely mince onion and garlic; chop fresh parsley. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, minced onion, garlic, garam masala, paprika, cumin, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined—do not overwork.

2

Divide mixture into 8 equal portions. Mold each portion around a metal or soaked wooden skewer, forming an elongated patty about 5 inches long and 1 inch thick.

3

Lightly brush both sides of each kofta with olive oil.

4

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place kofta on grill and cook 5–6 minutes per side, turning once, until charred in spots and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).

5

Warm pita bread on grill if desired. Arrange cucumber slices and red onion on a platter alongside lemon wedges.

6

Transfer cooked kofta to a serving plate. Drizzle with tahini if using. Serve with warm pita, fresh vegetables, and lemon wedges for squeezing.
