1

Start with finely minced ground chicken.

Add a few mint leaves and grind them together with the onion.

4

Add 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste to the mixture.

5

Mix all the ingredients well to ensure they are combined.

6

Add 1 tablespoon of ghee to the chicken mixture.

Grease your hands with oil to prevent the mixture from sticking while forming kofta.

8

Shape the mixture into kofta (oval-shaped patties).

9

Prepare a sauce by frying chopped onions in oil until golden brown.

10

Add chopped tomatoes to the fried onions and cook until soft, covering for 2-3 minutes to speed up the process.

12

Incorporate spices: 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder into the sauce.

13

Add the prepared kofta to the sauce without stirring for the first 5-7 minutes to allow them to hold their shape.

14

After 5-7 minutes, gently stir the kofta to ensure they are evenly cooked.

15

Add 2 glasses of water to the sauce along with garam masala and 1 tablespoon of coriander powder, mixing well.
