Aromatic Beef Kofti

"From Cardamom & Coriander by Simon Morris. Another yummy bit from my new love of Indian food and ZWT6. Little appetizer Indian burger patties which are best eaten grilled outside. Another recipe I read suggested to have the beef ground three times to improve the mouth feel of the patties. Seems like a great idea to me. Ask your butcher."

  1. I thought the meat had a great aromatic flavor and my first time using methi leaves. I did toss in just a bit of lemon juice jsut because I like acid in my kofta and left out the eggs. I made them inside on the non stick griddle. Everyone loved. Thanks for a new Kofta recipe! Made for ZWT 6 by a fellow Looney Spoon :)
     
  2. This has a wonderful flavor and was perfectly paired with basmati rice and steamed carrots. I had to substitute fenugreek seeds for methi leaves because our local grocer who sells fresh methi leaves was out of stock. Would make a delicious and flavorful addition to soups. Thanks for posting. Reviewed for ZWT 2010.
     
  3. Wonderfully seasoned. Plus I brushed the burgers with Recipe #424837. Topped the burgers with lettuce, tomatoes and a sauce made with mayo and sweet chili sauce. So messy good! Thanks! made for ZWT 6

40-something wife and Mom who's biggest kick is cookin' cheap and flavorful. A day of frugal living is only fun if you have a good dinner after! I tend not to post my recipes because I cook by the seat of my pants. No, not *on* the seat... I cook with what's available and draw liberally from my spice carousel. Just spin that thing like the money wheel on "The Price is Right"! My friend says I should open a restuarant. We've decided to call it "Whatchagot Cafe". <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/tisht/tish3.jpg" border="0" alt="Recipezaar Challenge 2008"></a> <img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/cookbookswapspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u232/wahm_coder/daffies1-1.jpg" > <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
