Slightly flatten the kofta around the Rosemary or skewer to ensure that the skewer won’t fall out when grilled. Transfer to a greased pan and cover with cling film. refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before you grilling.

Tzatziki dip:
Mix all your ingredients together and let it chill in the fridge, preferable overnight or for at least 2 hours before serving.

Use any left over Tzatziki within 2 days.
