Put all kofte ingredients in a large bowl and then mix well for at least 5 minutes or until it has a nice and soft texture slightly sticking to your hand.

Shape into 16 equally sized oblong meatballs using the palm of your hands. Keep them aside on a plate to fry later.

Peel and cut potatoes into wedges. Fry them until browned on all sides and place them in an oven dish.

Fry the meatballs in small batches until they are browned on all sides, and arrange them neatly together with peppers, potatoes and tomatoes.

Prepare the tomato sauce in the same pan and then pour it on top of the koftas and the vegetables. Cover the oven dish with a lid or tin foil and then put it in the preheated oven.

Cook for 30 minutes, remove the lid and cook for another 30 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Click on 👇"learn more" for the full recipe.
