So, the original recipe for this chicken kofta I found online uses lamb or beef as the main ingredient. But, since I don’t fancy either one, I used chicken instead. Also, I have fewer ingredients and go with a much simpler method.
I guess you can replace fresh coriander leaves with chopped leeks. Of course, you’ll get different results/tastes. But that’s okay, right? Yesterday, I had plenty of coriander leaves, so I added them to my Asian green salad. Then, to make it yummier, I add chopped bacon. This is a perfect side to serve with the kofta.
