Step 1

For at least 10 mins by hand or in the food processor mix all kofta ingredients together minus onion juice until well combined.

Heat up coal until very hot and red, immediately place in aluminum foil and add fat (ghee or butter). Place with combined meat mixture and cover tightly with aluminum foil, place in the fridge for 1 hour to rest.

Step 5

Rest in fridge for 10 more minutes.

Step 6

After resting lay on grill pan over a pan with water to keep kofta moist.

Step 7

Bake at 450-475 degrees for 30-40 minutes flipping at least once halfway through.

Step 7

Once kofta is cooked all the way through (internal temperature should be 165 degrees F) plate and enjoy! Serve with a salad or pita bread.
