Koftas
Yoghurt Sauce
To Serve
Instructions
Combine the yoghurt sauce ingredients and leave in fridge for the flavor to develop (overnight if possible).
Combine the kofta ingredients and mix well with your hands.
With damp hands, divide the meat into 8 equal pieces and push and shape the meat onto 8 skewers. If using wooden skewers, make sure they've been soaked in water before using (so they don't burn when cooking). Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Grill the koftas on the outdoor barbecue until nicely browned on both sides, then remove to rest for a few minutes (approximately 8 to 10 minutes).
To serve, get a flatbread, place some Salad on it and a Kofta, then drizzle over Yoghurt Sauce. Or serve on a platter and let your friends do their own.

Notes
You do not need to make a salad to accompany this. You could just serve it with some shredded lettuce and slices of tomato. Also slices of spanish onion, fresh coriander, parsley and mint goes very well.
