Place keftas on hot barbecue grill and reduce heat to Medium. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until fully done, turning from time to time.

Meanwhile, pour 375 mL of Canton broth and cornstarch in a small barbecue-safe pot and bring to a boil.

Once keftas are done, baste with thickened sauce and place in pita breads.
