▢½ teaspoon black pepper powder
▢½ teaspoon coriander powder
▢½ teaspoon baking powder

OTHER INGREDIENTS
▢1 egg white from large egg
▢1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch

THE ONION WATER MIX
▢Onion water from the two onions minced
▢⅛ teaspoon salt
▢¼ teaspoon sugar

📖 INSTRUCTIONS

TO MAKE THE ONION WATER MIX
After mincing the onion, squeeze it with your hand or through a sieve, take out as much liquid as you can. The liquid is important when shaping the kofta. The onion solids should go in the meat mixture.
Mix the salt and sugar with onion water and keep aside.

MAKING THE KOFTA MIXTURE
In a bowl, add all the spices, the egg white, cornstarch, onion, and the meat.
Mix the ingredients well for a minute or until combined.
Add the shredded butter (it has to be chilled and firm), Mix well for a minute until combined.
Cover the meat mixture and refrigerate for one hour, or overnight.

SHAPING AND COOKING THE KOFTA
To shape the kofta, I have used the handle of a wooden spoon. You can use what’s available in your kitchen. A handle of a tablespoon can do as well as a skewer. (Please read the notes).
Wet your hand with onion water and then form a medium size ball from the meat. Insert the skwere in the formed ball and then shape the meat into a log. I made large koftas, but you can make them smaller.
If you are using skewers, you can keep the kofta on it, but if you want to remove the kofta from the skewer like I did in the video, you have to reshape the kofta a little. (Please watch the video for clarity).
Place a rack that can be used in the oven over a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Pour ¼ cup water in the baking sheet. Place the kofta over the rack.
Wet your hand with the onion water and spread it all over the kofta.
Cook the kofta in a preheated oven, 200C/392F in the middle shelf.
It will take 18 to 20 minutes for large koftas, cooking the kofta more will dry it.

GIVING THE GRILL EFFECT (Optional, and please be extra careful)
Place a small piece of charcoal over the flame on the stovetop for 5 minutes.
In a big pan add the cooked koftas and then place the lit charcoal in a aluminum foil formed into a small bowl. Pour a tablespoon of cooking oil or ghee over the lit charcoal.
When it releases the smoke cover the pan with aluminum foil, or with its lid if it has one.
Keep it covered for two to three minutes.
Carefully uncover and remove the charcoal. place the charcoal under running water to put it off.
Serve the kofta with toum (garlic sauce), mashed potatoes, pita bread, or with your favorite dip.
