Red Lentil Kofte


Since there are 291 different kinds of kofte in Turkish cuisine, here’s a tasty vegetarian one which is extremely rich in fiber! I love wrapping these lentil koftes in lettuce leaves and eating like that. 

You can adjust the amount of herbs and spices to your taste. I like it with lots of spring onions and herbs and prefer a slightly stronger cumin flavor.

Turkish Kofte (Meatballs)





If you've ever been to Turkey, you must have come across many types of kofte, the Turkish meatballs. I wondered how many there were. Well, according to a research done by Pinar Et, a well know Turkish brand, there are 291 different kinds! I don't think i can list more than 20, but now that I have this information, I will for sure put an effort to try as many as I can.

In the meantime, my mom's meatballs will do just fine to satisfy my kofte cravings.
