Step 1

In a food processor, blend the onion, cilantro, garlic, ginger, and jalapeno until fine. Drain the excess liquid from this mixture so it does not add too much moisture to the chicken kufta mixture.

Step 2

Add this to the ground chicken along with all the seasonings, egg, and cormeal. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes to chill so it is easier to shape. You can even leave this for up to 4 days in the fridge before cooking.

Step 4

Shape into kebabs which is like a thick sausage in appearance. It may be easier to lightly wet your hands while shaping.

Step 5

In a hot pan with 2 tbsp of vegetable oil, add just enough kebabs to not overcrowd the pan. This is dependent on the size of the pan you are using. Cook for about 5 minutes on medium-high heat on each side until you have a golden brown sear and fully cooked through.

Step 6

Enjoy in a sandwich, on top of a salad, or with rice for a delicious meal!
