About Kofta

Kofta is a flavorful dish with origins in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Traditionally made from ground meat such as lamb, beef, or chicken, it is often mixed with spices, onions, garlic, and fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. Vegetarian variations frequently use ingredients like lentils, chickpeas, or vegetables. Kofta is typically shaped into balls or patties and can be grilled, baked, or simmered in flavorful sauces. Nutritionally, kofta is a good source of protein, iron, and essential vitamins, depending on the ingredients. The preparation method plays a role in its healthiness—grilled versions tend to be leaner compared to deep-fried ones. While rich in flavor, the dish can be high in calories, saturated fats, or sodium if made with fatty meats or heavy sauces. Opting for leaner proteins or plant-based versions can make kofta a balanced and nutritious addition to your diet.
