Ok brace yourselves for this one as it was described as ‘the best kebab I have eaten in a long time’ and ‘I haven’t done anything to deserve something this good’. Surely enough after such amazing reviews you must try it too! Ok so my boyfriend was really impressed by this one and has just told me that I should share the recipe because they’re incredible. So here you go! I hope you enjoy this as much as he did.

Kofta kebab (makes 6 kebabs)

4. You may cook these over a bbq, in the oven or on a grill hob.
5. Cook for a few minutes on each side until cooked through.
