Kufta (also know as kofta or kefta) are a food eaten in parts all over the Middle East and North Africa. (There are many other variations eaten across India and it's surrounding neighbours.) A word kufta basically means meatball. It is typically made with ground lamb, but there are also beef, fish, and vegetarian versions too. There are may recipe variations and each country and region adds their own flare. The most common ingredients include meat, onion, spices, and herbs.
To have a clearer recipe one would have to settle what country's version you'd like to prepare. I decide to give my kufta a fusion twist by combining ingredients. The most interesting of the ingredients being Baharat spice. This aromatic seasoning consists of several different spices; And just like the kufta, the spices used depend on the country where the mixture was prepared. This great article, by About's Middle Eastern Food Expert, does a great job at explaining this wonderful seasoning.
Baharat is not only a fantastic addition to this recipe, bus something I highly recommend you have in your kitchen. I love using it to spice meats and it's fantastic in stews. The smells are amazing and the heat is low, but it pairs well with other spicier spices or hot chilies.
