Turkish Lamb Kofte Recipe by The Culinary Trail
 The Culinary Trail @cook_2659320 Bangalore A tasty and simple middle-eastern meatball. Contrary to popular belief, meatballs are not only an Italian dish. Throughout history, many nations and cultures have laid claim on the humble meatball. The meatball now has many variations which accommodate different tastes, ingredients, and even religious traditions. Meatballs have been found in many parts of the world. In Asian, Middle Eastern and North African cooking the kofta is found in rissoles, croquettes, and dumplings, where they are made of ground or mashed meat, which is mixed with ingredients such as rice, bulgur or vegetables. In India, koftas can be made with fish, or even without meat, using only veggies. Kofta may also have a spicy filling and contain nuts, cheeses, or egg. And Turkey boasts of over 80 types of meatballs, each type made just a bit differently according to its region of origin! This dish completely supports my motto_ 'Food is comfort'!_ But it has to be good, healthy and wholesome. A fusion of flavors to arm us for the next exciting roller coaster ride. These meatballs are made with lean ground beef, infused with freshly chopped parsley and other aromatic spices. They are succulent and full of flavor. And a sure hit with your little ones. Do try.

I re-arranged the recipe so that's easy to create at home. Since Turkey is a Muslim country they don't eat pork. Therefore if you want to make authentic kofta you should try making them with minced beef or mutton. The key to this recipe is to keep mixing the ingredients together until the mixture becomes sticky. You can adjust the amount of cumin powder and red pepper to achieve the level of spiciness that's best for you. Kofta aren't traditionally eaten with sauce or condiments so it's best to flavour them well before cooking.
