Steps
- 1
Blend the green pepper, fresh cilantro, dill, garlic, yogurt, and 1 tbsp of oil in a food processor until a smooth green marinade forms.
- 2
Place the ground chicken in a bowl and grate about 50 g of butter over it, equivalent to approximately two large cubes.

Add the green marinade to the chicken, then add the ground black pepper, onion powder, chili flakes, and salt. Mix well until the marinade and spices are evenly distributed.
- 4
Shape the kofta mixture loosely around wide wooden skewers, then place the skewers in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to rest.
- 5
Prepare the rice by adding the chopped onion, drained canned tomatoes, and rice spices. Add two cubes of butter and stir the ingredients.
- 6
Add the boiling water to the rice, using the appropriate liquid-to-rice ratio for the amount of rice used; the source does not specify this ratio.
- 7
Spread the rice in an ovenproof dish, then place the kofta skewers on top so the rice absorbs the kofta’s flavor during cooking.
- 8
Brush the kofta with oil, then shape it and secure it firmly around the skewers.
- 9
Place the entire dish in the oven for 35 minutes. The oven temperature is not specified in the source.

Remove the dish from the oven and serve the chicken kofta with the rice infused with the kofta’s flavor.
Notes
The source does not specify the quantities of chicken, rice, onion, tomatoes, or water, nor does it specify the oven temperature. The butter is mentioned as approximately 50 g for the chicken, and butter cubes are also mentioned with the rice; it cannot be determined from the source whether the 50 g is divided between the kofta and rice or whether an additional amount is intended for the rice.
