Chicken Kofta

Tasty Food’s Chicken Kofta are smooth, cylindrical meatballs made from finely minced halal chicken blended with aromatic spices and bound with egg for a firm yet tender texture. They’re designed to be versatile — drop them into a rich tomato-based curry for a comforting kofta dish, grill them on skewers for a BBQ spread, or fry them as a standalone snack. Each kofta is uniform in size for even cooking, and the spice level is balanced to work beautifully with both mild and bold sauces.

Ingredients

Halal chicken mince, onion, ginger-garlic paste, green chili, fresh coriander, cumin, garam masala, red chili, egg, salt.

Cooking Instructions

Curry / Gravy (Recommended)

1. Thaw koftas for 20–30 minutes.
2. Prepare your kofta gravy: sauté onions, add ginger-garlic paste, tomatoes, yogurt, and spices.
3. Once the curry base is ready, gently slide thawed koftas into the simmering gravy.
4. Cook on low heat for 15–18 minutes until koftas are cooked through and have absorbed the gravy flavours.
5. Serve with naan, rice, or paratha.

Shallow Frying (Snack)

6. Thaw and fry in 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, turning regularly until browned on all sides.

Grill / BBQ

7. Thread thawed koftas onto skewers.
8. Grill over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes.

💡 Tip: When adding koftas to curry, lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Vigorous boiling can break the koftas apart.
