Kofta Kebabs

Kofta Kebabs

In English speaking countries they are called meatballs or meatloaf. In Spanish speaking countries, albondigas. But throughout much of Eastern Europe, the middle east and Southeast Asia, meatballs, in a variety of sizes, and served with a variety of condiments and side dishes, are called kofta (or some close variation thereof). This recipe features the seasoned meatballs skewered and grilled. Serve the kebabs with your choice of condiments such basmati rice, and tzatziki sauce or a curry gravy.
