- Preheat the grill to high. Toss the sliced onions with half the lemon juice and a pinch of salt; pickle for 30 mins before draining.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Cook the sweetcorn for 8-10 mins until lightly charred. Cool in a bowl, then mix in half the remaining lemon juice, the tomatoes, half the chilli and coriander.
- Mix half the lemon zest, the grated onion, 2½ garlic cloves, mince and the remaining chilli and coriander until combined. Shape into 12 even koftas; roughly 10cm long. Transfer to a lightly greased baking tray; drizzle with the remaining oil and grill for 10-12 mins, draining halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
- Mix together the cucumber, remaining garlic, lemon zest and juice, and all of the yogurt. Divide among the pittas before adding the koftas, pickled onion and sweetcorn salsa.
