Method
- STEP 1
To make the flatbreads, put the yogurt into a bowl and mix in the flour, baking powder and 1 tsp of salt. Knead briefly to bring together as a dough. Leave in a covered bowl for 30 minutes.
- STEP 2
Put all the kofta ingredients in a food processor, season well, and pulse until combined. Form into 20 small patties and chill for 20 minutes.
- STEP 3
Mix together the chutney ingredients well, season, cover and leave at room temperature. Whizz the raita ingredients in a small processor then season.
- STEP 4
To cook the flatbreads, divide the dough into 4 and roll out to rounds of 21-22cm on a lightly floured worksurface. Heat a heavy non-stick frying pan to medium-high. Lightly brush a flatbread with oil, put in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until it starts to puff and turns a dark golden colour. Brush with butter and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Keep warm wrapped in foil in a low oven while you cook the rest.
- STEP 5
To cook the koftas, add a little oil to a non-stick frying pan and fry the patties for 3-4 minutes each side, in batches, until cooked through.
- STEP 6
To assemble, divide the koftas between the flatbreads, spoon on some chutney and raita, and add a few extra herbs, if you like.
