Notes

Make sure the meat is cold when mixing to help the koftas hold their shape better. Avoid overworking the meat to keep the koftas tender. For added flavor, marinate the koftas in yogurt, lemon juice, and garlic before grilling. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Serve with a fresh salad, yogurt sauce, or on a bed of rice for a delightful meal.
