I ate this food for the first time in spring 2008 when my mother-in-law’s friend invited us for breakfast. And after that day, I love this food 😍😍. And Praise to GOD, while we were in Mombasa, I have my best friend from Kayseri. Her city is not far from the original içli köfte come from, the town of Adana. She taught me very well how to cook this food. When I cook this food, it reminds me of her—missing her so much.I hope you like it, happy trying!Recipe by @Simple_Woman23#içliköfte #combro ala #Turki #Turkish #stuffed #meatball #indonesgellin #cracked #wheat #buğday #MasakSekeluarga #coopad #cookpadcommunity #cookpadcommunity_Indonesia #cookpadcommunity_USA ZahraS_23 -
Koofteh Baghali | Persian Meatballs Koofteh Baghali | Persian Meatballs
Step aside spaghetti and meatballs, or any other meatballs, cos this Persian meatballs is on another level of awesomeness! I am serious. These meatballs are very flavorful pack with layers of umami funk and the stew that goes along with it just makes everything almost flawless.This isn't your regular greasy meaty meatballs that you would find in an Italian restaurant; this is a combination of ground meat, rice, peas, herbs and spices. If that isn't enuff, the meatballs are stuffed with dates, plums and they come in sizes of a baseball. Mindblowing right? That's my reaction when I came to learn about this amazing dish.It indeed took quite a bit of effort, but at the end, it makes it all worthwhile. I am using ground chicken. You can use any other cut of meat if desire. I had a hard time locating some of the ingredients, especially dried savory and Persian plums. I had to order them online tho. If you can't get your hands on dried savory, dried thyme would be a great substitute. As for the Persian plums, you can replace it with any dried golden plums. Dried prunes might even do the trick too. This dish is usually served separately, but I decided to serve them all in 1 plate. Perhaps I can make my own Persian pasta and meatballs. What do you think? Anyway, let's get started with the recipe. Daniel Lim -

Turkish Kofta Meat Patties Turkish Kofta Meat Patties
This is a meat dish that my Dad apparently ate a lot when he lived in Turkey.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.

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.
