Cook the bulgur wheat a little longer than instructions so that it’s very puffy (about 20 mins). Rinse under cold water to remove starch and leave to drain and cool a little. Mix ingredients for the balls together except the oil. Squeeze mixture till it sticks together and form into golf-ball sized balls. Place in fridge for 30mins. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry balls for 3-4mins and finish in oven 180C/ 160C Fan/Gas4 for 5-10mins. Serve on sticks with a drizzle of greek yogurt,sweet tamarind sauce, sprinkle of nigella seeds and fresh coriander.
