RECIPE ESSENTIALS
  • Serves: 4 people 
  • BBQ setup: Direct cooking 
  • Target temperature: 180-200˚C
  • Cooking time: 20 minutes
  • Preheat your gas BBQ for direct cooking, aiming for a grill temperature of 180-200°C.

  • Prepare the kofta mixture by adding the beef mince, grated white onion, chopped parsley, chopped coriander, dried mint, cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, ginger paste, salt, pepper, and the egg to a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix everything together thoroughly until all of the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture becomes slightly sticky.

  • Mould the mixture on to each soaked bamboo skewer, shaping them into long, even-sized koftas.
  • Lightly oil the cooking grills to prevent the koftas from sticking.

  • Then place the koftas directly onto the BBQ and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until evenly browned on all sides and cooked through.
  • Remove the koftas from the BBQ and serve in warm flatbreads with fresh salad and a generous drizzle of mint sauce. Fold, serve and enjoy.
