Recently, kofta has become very popular at grill restaurants, with people saying that a certain kebab chef makes the best grilled kofta. I worked on this recipe until I discovered the secret. People rush to get the best meat for kofta, but the real secret is here—and it’s surprising. Please follow the measurements closely.

Steps

  1. 1

    This is usually prepared at the butcher shop, and it’s best to go yourself and supervise. Choose a time when it’s not busy, or mix it yourself at home.

  2. 2

    Finely grind the beef, lamb, and lamb fat together.

  3. 3

    Add the chopped parsley and onions.

  4. 4

    Grind the entire mixture again until very fine.

  5. 5

    On a work surface, add the spices, salt, and chili powder gradually, tasting as you go. You may need more salt or spice to taste.

  6. 6

    Mix everything by hand, kneading the meat so the fat and meat are evenly combined.

  7. 7

    Note: Shape the kofta onto flat wooden skewers and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 6 hours to keep the skewers separated. Grill over low heat.

  8. 8

    Another note: This recipe is only for grilling and is not suitable for frying or cooking in sauce.
