My name is
Ahmed. I'm from Pakistan, and one of my favourite recipe is Kofte.
Ingredients:
400 g. finely ground
beef or lamb
1 egg
2 tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup water
1 tbsp ground paprika
1tbsp ground cumin
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup finely chopped coriander
Preparation: Combine the meat, egg, oil, water, spices
and garlic in food processor. Process for about 20/30 seconds.
Put mixture in a bowl and add the chopped coriander.
Work the mixture so as to obtain a homogeneous ball.
Pour some water into a bowl. Dip your hands in it
and start forming small, thin, square-shaped keftahs. Lay them on
large plate or on a tray as you form them. Remember to keep your
hands moist as the keftahs might stick if they are not. Do not,
however, dip the keftahs in the water.
The keftahs are ready! They are delicious grilled,
or even fried in olive oil.
