KOFTA

Here you are......a Lebanese Meatball! From the look, it was look like the Italian meatball that seen on top of spaghetti. But, for the taste, it was different. Kofta was tasted a little like kebab.
I got the recipe from my friend, Selly, and some addition spices from me.

This time, I made it from ground turkey which is alot healthier than beef or lamb. But, the originally this dish made from lamb.
It was good tho, eventually, I will have more various menu now ;).
