In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently for 3-5 minutes.

Wet your hands and form the mixture into elongated oval shapes, about the size of your palm, aiming for 10-12 koftas.

Preheat your grill over medium-high heat and lightly brush with olive oil. Let it heat for 5 minutes.

Place the kofta on the grill, cooking for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

While grilling, combine plain yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir until smooth; add optional minced garlic if desired.

Once grilled, let the kofta rest for a couple of minutes before serving with garlic yogurt sauce.
