If using a baking tray then you may need to transfer the kofta to a fresh baking tray for the last few minutes of cooking, as some liquid can gather in the middle of the tray. Place the kofta into the preheated oven for about 20-25mins, until browned on the outside and cooked through.

These can be served with some fresh or cooked vegetable sticks and a dip of your choice to make into a finger food meal. Some freshly chopped mint stirred into whole milk yogurt goes really well.

For grown-ups why not add some mango chutney or a dash of chilli sauce? Get creative and experiment with different options.
