Indian Kofta Curry Recipe

In indian and middle eastern cuisine, a kofta is a meatball, meat loaf, or skewered meat mixture, and although koftas are usually made of meat, they can also consist of veggies or cheese. For example, a common type of indian kofta balls includes paneer (cheese) or those stuffed with cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. Typically, these kofta balls are then tossed in a cream based curry and enjoyed with a bread (like naan) or rice. In india, you will typically find kofta in a spiced curry or gravy while in iran and iraq it can be cooked in a spiced gravy or as a kebab. These koftas can be made with minced beef, lamb, or chicken and make a great meal when served with jeera rice and kachumber salad, a simple cucumber, tomato, and onion salad that pairs well with indian curries.
