Balti Chicken Kofta

Submitted by Brian Holley

"An unusual kofta dish as it uses chicken. It makes a great party dish, as an appetizer and goes well with a glass of lager. This dish can be served withh PANEER, an India type cheese if you can find it, here where I live in Spain it is not availiable."
