It was Friday yesterday and I had to go to a training course in the afternoon followed by meeting some friends so we both got home late. That morning I had suggested to The Bloke that we got a takeaway later. His face dropped with disappointment. Neither of us like resorting to a takeaway (its never a treat to us). So I thought quickly and it took me 10 minutes to make the mix for the koftas to marinade while we were out of the house. The sauce I had already so I had quick and easy meal for later. It was quick. And it was perfect.
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, skin removed and chopped
1 small onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled & sliced
1 inch piece ginger, peeled & sliced
small handful fresh coriander
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. turmeric
1/4 tsp. each salt & pepper
Put all the ingredients into a hand blender or food processor and blend till finely chopped and combined. Leave to marinate in the fridge for up to 5 hours.
Soak 8 wooden skewers in some cold water and divide the chicken mix into 8. Shape the mix around the skewers and pop under the grill for 7-8 minutes, turning to brown all sides, until cooked through.
Serve with some salad, chips and homemade curry sauce (recipe here).
Perfect, tasty and quick!
