Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Grate the onion and squeeze out its juice, and finely chop the parsley.
In a bowl combine the 750 g minced meat with the onion, parsley, 1 tsp seven spices, 1/2 tsp black pepper and salt, and knead by hand for 1 minute until it holds together.
Shape the mixture into palm-sized patties about 1 cm thick.
Slice the potatoes 1/2 cm thick and fry them in the oil over medium heat for 5 minutes until light golden, then drain on kitchen paper.
Slice the tomatoes into rounds (and the green pepper into strips if using).
Arrange the kofta, potato and tomato slices (and pepper) alternately in a tray in tight rows.
Dissolve the 2 tbsp tomato paste in the 1.5 cups of water with a pinch of salt and pour it evenly over the tray.
Bake at 200°C for 35 minutes until the potatoes are tender, the kofta is browned and the sauce has thickened.
Take it out and let it rest for 5 minutes, then serve hot in the tray.
