Method
- Sauté the onion in the oil for 5 to 6 mintues, until soft.
- Add the garlic and cumin, and cook for an extra minute, then transfer to a bowl.
- Add the remaining kofta ingredients, season to taste with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. For a finer texture pulse everything in a food processor.
- Divide the mixture into eight and form into balls and if possible chill for 1 to 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill to high. Grill the koftas for 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked through.
- Cool slightly before serving with the pittas, salad and Greek yoghurt.
