  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp sweet paprika
  • 2 tsp dried oregano leaves

Chickpea Salad

  • 2 cucumbers, diced
  • 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup parsley leaves, torn
  • 1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Preparation

Method

  1. Combine all kofta ingredients, except chutney, and mix well. Divide into 8 pieces and form into sausage shapes. Thread a skewer through the centre of each sausage and squeeze gently to create ridges. Place koftas on a tray and refrigerate to set while you prepare the salad.
  2. Place a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, cumin, chickpeas, and onion, cook for 2 minutes until warmed through. Drizzle over lemon juice and set aside. Combine cucumber, radishes, and parsley in a large bowl, stir through cooled chickpeas and any pan juices.
  3. Heat a large pan or barbecue flat-plate to medium. Cook kofta skewers for 5-6 minutes, turning regularly until browned and cooked through. Serve koftas with chickpea salad and tomato chutney.
