About Chicken kofta

Chicken Kofta is a flavorful dish originating from Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisines, known for its aromatic blend of spices and tender texture. Made primarily with ground chicken combined with ingredients like onions, garlic, fresh herbs, and warm spices such as cumin, coriander, and paprika, the mixture is shaped into small balls or oblong patties before being grilled, baked, or simmered in sauce. Kofta is often served with rice, flatbreads, or salads, making it a versatile meal option. Chicken Kofta is a leaner alternative to traditional lamb or beef kofta, offering lower fat content while still providing a good source of protein. However, the healthiness of the dish may vary depending on preparation methods – frying or adding heavy sauces can increase calorie and fat content. Opting for baked or grilled kofta and pairing it with vegetables enhances its nutritional profile while maintaining its bold, savory taste.
