1

2
Phase 2
Divide the mixture and press it tightly around flat skewers into long, slender kofta fingers.
3
Phase 3
Cook over hot charcoal for 8 to 10 minutes, turning, until charred outside and just cooked through.

Phase 4
Brush lightly with olive oil during the last minute so the surface crisps without drying.
