Chicken Kofta

  3. Shape ¼ cup chicken mixture at a time into 8 koftas.  
  4. Thread 1 kofta onto each skewer.  
  5. Place on a large tray and cover. Refrigerate for at least one hour until firm.  
  6. Heat an oiled barbecued plate and add koftas. Cook, turning occasionally, for approximately 10-15  minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a large baking tray and cover with foil. Rest for a few minutes.

  2. In a separate, smaller bowl, add lemon juice, olive oil and black pepper.  
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and gentle stir to combine.
