Topic: Any kofta recipes here?

[beachbum]

Supermarket had lamb mince on special so I bought a small tray. Any recipes on this forum for kofta curries in gravy? I used to make a killer one, but it wasn't BIR, more like BSC (British School Canteen)  with mango chutney etc, but would appreciate a BIR style one.

Thanks Les, I'll do a version of that. Interesting that the koftas are just lowered into the pot without pre-frying, I guess most people would pre fry without even thinking outside the squaree, and poached in the gravy.
Yumm.

For a change BB, the following recipe is very nice.

it's more of a Cypriot/Lebanese Kofta, but is very tasty on pitta bread with fresh salad and a raita type sauce and chilli sauce

- About 750gms lamb mince

- A good sized bunch of chopped parsley leaves

- salt and WHITE pepper

- Grated rind of half a lemon

- Heaped tsp Sumac

- Finely chopped half onion

Mix it all up by hand, as per seekh kebabs, and I normally shape it around a chopstick rather than on a skewer. I find it cooks better with the hole through it.

It shouldn't need an egg to bind it, but if it feels as though it will fall apart, a tbsp of yogurt will keep it bound.

Barbeque them, but don't overcook them. Keep them nice and moist.
