How to make Chicken Kofta
Prepare the Kofta
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, garlic, ginger, green chilies, coriander leaves, breadcrumbs (or soaked bread), and egg.
Add the garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt.
Mix everything well until it forms a dough-like consistency.
Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into round balls (koftas).
Fry the Kofta
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the koftas in batches, turning them until they are golden brown on all sides.
Remove them and set them aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve
Serve the chicken kofta with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
Tips & Tricks
For a spicier kofta, increase the amount of green chilies.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the koftas to prevent them from absorbing too much oil.
