Ingredients

10 servings
  • 500 g /1 lb white fish fillets (,skinless, cut in pieces (Note 1))
  • 1 egg white ((add leftover yolk to scrambled eggs!))
  • 1/2 red onion (, grated using a box grater (keeps koftas soft!))
  • 2 g arlic (, finely minced)
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 tsp cooking salt ((kosher salt))
  • 1/2 cup rice flour ((sub cornflour/cornstarch))
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 70 g / 2.5 oz danish feta (, plus extra for optional garnish (Note 2))
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt (, unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup (tightly packed) mint leaves
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp cooking / kosher salt
  • Parsley or coriander (, roughly chopped)
  • Persian Jewelled Rice (or plain basmati rice)

Steps

  1. Fish & egg blitz - Place fish and egg white in a food processor. Blitz on high until smooth. (30 sec to 1 minute) A stick blender also works but it will take a bit longer.

  2. Kofta mixture - Add onion, garlic, all the spices, salt, rice flour and parsley. Blitz on high until smooth (1 minute). Consistency should be like a paste. (Note

  3. Feta - Remove the blade, then crumble the feta in. Aim for chunks. Mix delicately (so the feta doesn't disintegrate).

  4. Form koftas - Use wet hands so the mixture doesn't stick. Portion the mixture into 10 - 12 (70g / 1/3 cup each), and shape into a 10cm / 4" cylinder. Thread onto skewers then slightly flatten to 1.75cm / 2/3" thick. (Note 3)

  5. Cook - Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large non-stick pan. Cook half the koftas for 2 minutes on each side until golden, or until the internal temperature reaches 50°C/122°F.

  6. Rest - Remove onto a plate and cook the remaining koftas. (Internal temperature of cooked koftas will rise to 55°C/131°F).

  7. Serve with Minted Yogurt and Jewelled rice pilaf for a stunning platter of food!

  8. Blitz all ingredients in a tall jug just large enough to fit a stick blender. Keep refrigerated until required.
