Method

Mix the mince with the crushed garlic, half the onion grated, the spices and plenty of salt.
Shape into eight fat fingers around nothing at all, or press them flat if that is easier.
Fry in the oil for 8 minutes, turning, until browned all over and cooked through.

Swaps

Swap the beef for turkey or lamb mince.
Serve the koftas on rice with the salad on the side.
