Grilled meat dishes such as shawarma, kofta and kebab have a good market in Jeddah. |
Least alluring was the sabzi kofta, essentially rather solid balls of gram flour, potato and mustard seed only tepid in the middle, served in a vinegary sauce. |
With other Middle Eastern specialties like kibbeh, kofta, and hummus with ground sirloin on offer, the restaurant seems a good bet for further adventures in exotic cuisine. |
There are ready made pieces of chicken keema, chicken kofta, chicken liver, mutton liver, mutton chops, prawns, mutton keema, burda kapoora, mutton brain and fish marrel. |
In addition, there are several common kofta dishes which substitute vegetables for meat. |
To make the kofta roast the coriander and cumin seeds in a fry pan on the stove and then grind in a mortar and pestle. |
