Method

Knead the meat with the onion, parsley, spices and salt, and shape into patties.
🤫 The cook's secret
Don't overwork the meat. Too much kneading makes the kofta tough and rubbery once cooked.
Lightly brown the potato slices in oil or in the oven.
Arrange the kofta, potatoes and tomatoes in a baking tray, alternating them.
Dissolve the tomato paste in the water with salt and pour it over the tray.
Bake in a 200°C oven for 35 minutes.
