Yogurt Sauce: Combine the yogurt sauce ingredients and leave in fridge for at least 20 minutes for the flavor to develop (overnight even better!).
Koftas: Grate the onion into the bowl using a standard box grater. Add remaining Kofta ingredients and mix well with your hands.
With damp hands, divide the meat into 8 equal pieces and push and shape the meat onto 8 skewers. Make them smooth or a bit nubbly.
Cooking: Stove: Preheat ½ tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook in batches for 5 minutes in total, turning to brown evenly all over.
BBQ: BBQ on medium high for about 6 minutes, rotating to brown all over.
Broiler/oven grill: preheat and cook koftas 30cm/10" from heat source for 12 minutes, rotating as needed until lightly browned.
Serving: Do a DIY spread – pile everything onto a platter and make everyone serve themselves. Get a flatbread, smear with Yogurt Sauce, top with Red Cabbage Mint Salad then Kofta, drizzle over more Yoghurt Sauce.
