NO OIL Chicken Kofta!

Juicy, flavourful and easy way to make with my Kofta Spices.

RECIPE

Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 30 mins (cooked in two batches)
Makes: 15 large koftas

Ingredients:
1kg chicken mince
NAJMA’s Kofta Spices (40g)
1 finely chopped onion
1 tbsp garlic paste
1 tbsp ginger paste
1/2 cup gram flour
2 tsp salt
1tsp crushed red chilli
Chopped coriander

Method:
1. Mix all the ingredients well. Smear your palms with a little oil to prevent stickiness and form 15 large meatballs,
2. Heat a heavy based non-stick pan gently and add about half the meatballs. Fry them over a medium heat for about 15 mins, turning over half way. Turn them over onto the sides to cook all over evenly. The repeat with the second batch.

Serve with a salad and a mediterranean pilaf or on a bed lemon couscous. You can store these in your fridge for 2-3 days and enjoy as a healthy protein snack!

I had the pleasure of bringing together this beautiful family to celebrate a birthday with a 2- hour off-site Cooking Experience 🧑‍🍳
The family made four different dishes:
Rogan Josh
Goan Prawn Curry
Dal Tadka
Pilau Rice
We experimented the difference in textures and flavours by changing up some key ingredients to suit individual palettes and it all went down a perfect storm 👌🏼
As ever, I am most grateful for the generous feedback 🙏🏼❤️

APPRECIATION POST🫶🏼🙏🏼

I have only just managed to unpack and sit down to write this message of appreciation. I will keep this as short and relevant as possible.

I write this post on behalf of all small business owners who traded at this year’s events . Whilst the experience to be on the other side and engage with the public and fellow traders was nothing short of amazing🤩 from a sales perspective though much of our business has been overshadowed and swallowed up by the bigger brands. The extreme high costs to not only secure our stand but every single additional item needed to run a functional stand has left us barely breaking even. We live to tell the story in the hope that the exposure will help push our brands forward.

A huge shoutout out and The Travelling Craft Room for their support; friends and colleagues and EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER who attended my cooking demos and purchased my spice products and yoga wear

A SPECIAL THANK YOU to all the beautiful souls who joined my Power Yoga Flow on Sunday. Your warmth, kindness and appreciation will live in my heart forever ❤️ Unfortunately, I believe there were no photographers to capture our shared practice and my manpower was guarding my stand at the time. If you managed to take any pictures, I would be hugely grateful if you might share them 🙏🏼

Curry & Rice seems quite fitting for a Super Bowl night 🤤 #koftacurry #superbowlsunday #cuuryandrice #najmassw20

Paneer Tikka hors d’oeuvres. 1. Mix together some whisked yogurt, a little garlic and ginger paste, mustard or veg oil, lemon juice and Najma’s Tikka Spices. Optionally, mix in some finely chopped coriander and mint leaves. 2. Marinade in the fridge for 1-2 hours. 3. Preheat oven to gas mark 8 (230 degrees Celsius). Arrange the paneer cubes onto skewers, spray evenly with oil and place on a baking sheet. 4. Cook in the centre of the oven for 5 mins. Then transfer to a hot grill and cook for another 3-4 mins, rotating the skewers to achieve a chargrilled effect. #indianfood #spiceblends #horsdoeuvres #vegetarianrecipes #easyrecipes #easyrecioesathome #najmassw20
