Steps

1

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, mixed spices, salt, and black pepper. Use a food processor to blend until very smooth.
2

Mix the kofta mixture well, then shape into medium-sized balls. In a skillet over medium heat, heat the oil and sear the kofta balls until browned.
3

Sauté potato slices in the same skillet. In a baking dish, arrange the potato slices, then prepare the tahini sauce.
4

Mix all the sauce ingredients together until smooth and pourable.
5

Place the kofta balls on top of the potato slices, pour the tahini sauce over them, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the kofta is cooked through. This amount makes 2 baking dishes.
6

Remove from the oven and serve with rice.
7

Enjoy!
