Chicken Koftas

Chicken Koftas

Core recipe

Found on WW boards

Adapted from an old Tesco recipe. Maybe a good way of getting some spinach into your unsuspecting family? They are quite green though :)

Soak 75g of bulghar in 100ml of boiling water for 10 minutes

1 chopped onion
2 crushed garlic cloves
Couple of handfuls of spinach leaves
A good handful of fresh coriander - leaves and stalks.

Pulse in a processor.

Add 500g chicken mince

Pulse again

Add bulghar and 2tsps roughly crushed cumin seeds and a grind or four of good pepper. (I use a mix from saltandpepper.com with hot red peppercorns)

Pulse again.

Form into smallish balls - about 20. Chill in the fridge to firm up.

The recipe says to grill but I dry fry in a non stick pan. Serve with rice or noodles and a tasty sauce. I used basic tomato last night and it was very tasty.

4 each is a very generous portion - 3 would be OK with a bulkier sauce.

They freeze well and thaw well too.
