500 g lean chicken mince
1 brown onion small, finely chopped
1 clove garlic crushed
¼ tsp dried chilli flakes optional
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
1 tsp ground paprika
¼ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cumin

Method

To prevent burning, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
Place all ingredients in a bowl. Using your hands, mix well to combine.
Shape ¼ cup chicken mixture at a time into 8 koftas.
Thread 1 kofta onto each skewer.
Place on a large tray and cover. Refrigerate for at least one hour until firm.
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

Notes

Serves 4 (2 koftas per person).

If you have small children, remove skewers before serving or do not use.
