Upute

Get ready. If you’re using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.

Make the chicken kofta mixture. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chicken, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, parsley, mint, harissa, tomato paste, egg, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with the coriander, cumin, paprika, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until the mixture is well combined, then set in your fridge to bind while you make your yogurt sauce.

Prepare the Mint Yogurt Sauce. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic, mint, lemon zest, salt to taste, and a small drizzle of olive oil. Whisk well.

Preheat the your grill. Oil the outdoor grill or indoor griddle to prevent sticking, then heat your grill over medium.

Form the chicken kofta kebabs. With damp hands or gloves, shape the chicken mixture onto the skewers by squeezing a big fist-full onto the bottom of the skewer, then working your way up until it’s even throughout (see the video below for reference).

Grill the kebabs. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the kebabs to your grill over direct heat. Cover until the chicken is cooked and charred in some parts, 8 to 10 minutes on each side (use foil if you’re indoors). Adjust temperature and time as needed. Transfer to a serving platter and tent with foil as you make the yogurt sauce.

Serve. Uncover the kebabs and drizzle a bit of the yogurt on top. Serve with the remaining yogurt on the side.
