Afghani Chicken meatballs | کوفته مرغ با طعم افغانی | Golkho

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and cilantro.

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped onion, garlic, ginger, cilantro, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and salt.

Add the egg and bread crumbs to the mixture and mix until well combined.

Form the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle olive oil over the meatballs and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

While the meatballs bake, prepare the sauce by combining yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped green chili in a bowl.

In a saucepan, heat tomato sauce over medium heat until simmering.

Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the tomato sauce and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Serve the meatballs hot, drizzled with the yogurt sauce.
