Method

In a large bowl, mix together the beef, kofte paste, couscous, onion, garlic, mint and coriander. Season well and form into 32 walnut-sized balls. Thread 4 kofte balls onto each of the 8 skewers. Leave to chill and firm up in the fridge.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat, add the garlic and cook for 30 secs. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for 10 mins, until thickened. Season to taste.
Heat a barbecue or griddle pan until hot then cook the skewers for 4-5 mins on each side until cooked through. Scatter the kofte balls with the extra herbs and serve with the sauce and flatbread.
