Prepare the tzatziki. Place all the tzatziki ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Seed the pomegranate and coarsely chop the herbs. Set aside until ready to use.

Add the Kofta to the pan and fry for 6-9 min until browned, turn several times and add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
