Beef Koftas...

Koftas come from the Middle East but have become popular all over the world because they take something as simple as mince and make it into something exotic.  They are incredibly easy to make and cook within minutes. Great for both under the grill and on the BBQ.

*remember if using wooden skewers to soak them over night so not to burn.

Ingredients

1 medium red onion, chopped
500g extra - lean minced beef
1 large red chili, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, crushed
salt and freshly ground pepper
fry light
1 tsp curry powder optional

8 skwewers

Method

1. Finely chop the red onion and place in a bowl with the beef, chili, garlic and some seasoning. Mix well to combined.
2. Divide the mince into 8 equal portions and shape around your skewers. Sprinkle with a little curry powder for an extra kick- optional
3. Spray with a little fry light and then pop under the grill or on the BBQ for 10 - 15 minutes (can vary depending on size) until they are cooked through and browned on the outside. Always keep an eye on them and remember to turn.
4. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of chili and onion.

This would be great on a SP day if served with a salad or some side vegetables.
