These delicious koftas can be made using a variety of ingredients, and they make a fantastic appetiser or snack, with leftovers that can easily be recycled into a curry or sandwich. A kofta is simply made up of minced meat, blended with spices and shaped into balls before being grilled.

Koftas work well with spiced sauces too, giving you even more flavour. This recipe tells you how to make koftas on their own, but feel free to experiment with different combinations to find a delicious meal you love.
