Instructions
 

  • Combine all the ingredients for the koftas in a bowl and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes
  • Divide your mix into 12 small logs, 1inch by 5 inches. You don’t have to put your koftas on skewers ( we don’t in this version). However, if your serving them as a stand-up snack, it can be handy to have them on skewers.
  • Combine all ingredients for tangy yogurt and put in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Using a grill or hibachi, cook for 6 – 8 minutes on high, turning them often. Ensure your BBQ isn’t to hot or you may burn them

Notes

If your using wooden skewers ensure you soak them first so they don’t burn.
