In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix with clean hands until well combined.

Wet your hands and take a portion of the mixture. Form it into elongated ovals, about 10-12 kofta, ensuring they're compact.

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, lightly oiled. Grill the kofta for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.

In a separate bowl, mix together the plain yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir in minced garlic if desired.

Plate the warm kofta alongside a bowl of the sauce and garnish with chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon.
