Kofta

Kofta is a family of meatball or meatloaf dishes found in Balkan, Middle Eastern, North African, South Caucasian, South Asian and Central Asian cuisines. In the simplest form, koftas consist of balls of minced meat – usually beef, chicken, pork, lamb or mutton, or a mixture – mixed with spices and sometimes other ingredients. The earliest known recipes are found in early Arab cookbooks and call for ground lamb.

There are many national and regional variations. There are also vegetable and uncooked versions. Shapes vary and include balls, patties, and cylinders. Sizes typically vary from that of a golf ball to that of an orange.

Examples of use of kofta

1. The kofta is ground beef mixed with onions and spices and molded to a skewer.

2. It featured three marinated and charbroiled lamb chops, cubed lamb cooked on a skewer, chicken kabob and kofta kabob.

3. The kabob platter ($16.'5) looked like a mini version of the Afghan platter with the omission of the kofta kabob.

4. While a Turk looks at a sheep and thinks of kofta, a Greek contemplates moussaka, a Sardinian imagines spit–roast joints, and an Indian sees pulau, the British think of Mary‘s Little Lamb.

5. Half a pound of pistachio Turkish delight, apple tea, a bunch of cinnamon sticks, and a package of bright red seasoning for kofta kebabs all disappear fragrantly into a paper bag, and his cash register rings up perhaps his only, perhaps his final sale of the day, while the strains of Istanbul‘s many muezzins echo the evening call to prayer through Kapali '';arsi‘s emptying halls.
