KOFTA KEBAB INGREDIENTS
To make homemade beef kofta kebab, you need the following ingredients:
• Onion: We are going to use grated onion and its juice in this recipe. That's where all the flavor is!
• Stale bread: You can use white or whole wheat bread.
• Ground beef: I suggest using 85% or 90% lean ground beef. It's also possible to use ground lamb to make koftas. More on that in the FAQ section below.
• Parsley: Herbs add such nice and fresh flavor to these patties!
• Spices: You need cumin, coriander, cinnamon, dried mint, salt and pepper. You can find dried mint online or at any Middle Eastern or Mediterranean shop.
