Chicken Kofta with Millet and Hemp Seeds

Chicken kofta kebab is a mixture of ground chicken, flavorful spices, and fresh herbs, made on skewers and fried, grilled, or even oven-baked.

Our version has some elements inspired by the Indian chicken seekh kebab or chicken keema. We add millet and hemp seeds for texture.
