I made this Kofta today as a trial run for a brunch next week. I have never tasted them before but all the ingredients sounded tempting. I ended up making my own pepper paste and finally found some pomgranate molasses to drizzle. These are the perfect food to transport and serve at room temp. The crunch of the romaine is a must! The taste is amazing and I wouldn't change one thing about your brilliant recipe. Your video and technique are awesome. I'm looking through all your videos now, I'm hooked! Thank you for your generous efforts.
Thank you very much for commenting, I really appreciate such feedbacks, really happy to see people trying and enjoying the recipes!
Can you share your recipe of making your pepper paste please ? Thank you in advance . 🙏🏻
I used a 16 OZ jar of whole roasted red peppers. These need to be well drained and blotted dry with towels. I dry pan roasted 4 Jalapeno peppers and once cooled peeled and seeded them. I used a blender to make it into a paste. I added some lemon, salt, black pepper, and several pinches of chili flakes. I kept tasting as I went to make the adjustments. Besides being mixed into the Kofta, I served it on the side and everyone loved it.@@malabhojwani9156
My Turkish friend invited me and she served those and I was addicted to this amazing taste. The lettuce and lemon really is amazing combination. Now thanks to your video I will be able to do it myself. Thanks .
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Too healthy,perfect for diabetics 👍🏼
The best and most authentic. I used Aleppo pepper instead of chili flakes and I think I add too much but still delicious and healthy. Love this recipe.
Aleppo peppets are the best substitute for pul biber. There are different sorts of them both, ranging from mild to very hot.
Beautiful video and great recipe. I almost skipped it, thinking deep-frying would be involved, but no, so simple. I love that you keep the water after rinsing the lentils! Not down the sink, but to the garden! Makes me happy...
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it :)
Can we deep fry or air fry it? @@HungryManKitchen
Another healthy and delicious dish 😋😋🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍
Vegan lentil koftas looks wonderful and very delicious👌Thanks for sharing.
The vegan edition of this recipe tastes better than its meaty counterpart ..
I am so proud to see your recipes. I am a 3rd generation Denmark-born Turkish offspring of an immigrant. We’ve had our share of struggle settling in this society which is rather up tight and closed, but we’ve always had our food. My family descents from Sivas and we always make cigkofte which reminds me of your dish here. Keep up your awesome videos. Ellerinden øperim abi ellerine saglik🇹🇷🇹🇷
Cok tesekkurler, sagolun 🙏
Great tip about mixing the uncooked bulgur into the hot lentils.
I made this last week, its one of my favourites, absolutely love your cooking, thank you for sharing. 🇦🇺
Glad you enjoy it!
@@HungryManKitchen Thank you.

Thank you for the recipe, chef!
You did not fry the kofta.
@@rozina246 you’re not supposed to fry these
Made these using your recipe. Perfect. Ellerinize sağlık
Afiyet olsun 🙏
Looks super delicious my friend. Ingredients are simple but full of flavor and looks easy to make. You always have a good recipe to share! lk 31👍⭐😊
Thank you so much!
can't wait to try this! I also want to learn Çiğ köfte they were very popular wraps when I was there ten years ago.
Cig kofte and its variations (with and without meat) are on my to do list
As always, an awesome recipe and great video work!! I like the use of the lettuce leaves for a bit of crunch as well as a great vessel to hold the koftas. A squeeze of lemon to finish was perfect!
Thanks so much Joe! 😊
These koftas look so good! Love that you grow your own lettuces
Thank you Sonia :)

Wow looks wonderful and so delicious. Great flavours here. Excellent preparation, loved this recipe!
Thanks a lot Anadi, have a great sunday!
I appreciate the recipe. Looks great and I will try it. Always looking for hiking foods 😋, and this seems perfect. I don't know about other viewers but, as a fairly experienced cook, I prefer videos that are more to the point- no need to see veg prep, as we know how to do that. Just the recipe coming together. Speeds up the browsing experience. Just my opinion. 😊
Thank you for the feedback. Some prefer the videos quick and short as possible and some feedbacks suggest that the videos are too short and quick to follow the recipe.
I just saw this recipe on another site fir the very first time. (I’ve never heard of this before.) And now you’re cooking it... I think you’re trying to tell me I need to make this :)
You need to try this 😊
Beautiful!!

Nice filmed! It looks quite tasty!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Healthy!
Wow very nice..
wow oh good video!
Thanks you 💖
Looks so flavorful and healthy... We have a similar version that my mom makes but they fry it..
I've seen the fried version, I think they are called Daal Pakoda? They are also delicious 😊
@@HungryManKitchen Yeah, Daal Pakoda, Vada.. so many names .. .😊
Oh please, please add a teaspoon of turmeric powder in it for making it "one of the 7 foods that are so healthy" which was considered by WHO 😊❤
looks super yummy !! Likd ;) Stay connectd! ;)
Good recipie！
🤤🤤🤤👍
It looks surprisingly easy to make, but it involves a lot of ingredients, doesn't it? I was expecting the finished product to have a hard exterior, I didn't realize that the were going to be soft. Of course they look totally delicious and I love lentil based foods.
Yes, indeed there are a few ingredients, but they make a great flavor combination and give a nice texture when you bite ;)
That is split peas the orange color we have green and yellow! Lentils are whole peas gray and green and taste totally different 🤷🏼♀️😊and this recipe as wonderful as it is got lots carb and I personally can’t eat it ( diabetic ) 🥲
❤❤❤❤❤❤
🤗😋😋😋
Look Good👍👍👍👍😋😋😋
Thank you!

I was expecting them to be fried.
Bulgar is uncooked ?
😋
You don't fry them ?
You didn't fry them??
After mixing bulgur and lentils need cook or no?
No, bulgur will just soak up the liquid in the cooked lentils.
I used to clean bulgur with water before cooking it, now I understand that it was a mistake
Yes, we dont wash it 😉
Παρακαλώ πολύ δώστε Ελληνικούς υπότιτλους Για να μπορούμε να δούμε τα υλικά της ωραίας αυτής Συνταγής! 😢❤😮❤😊
Looks delicious! Can I substitute bulgar with something else? Maybe cous cous? I know it's not the same but it's not easy to find bulgar in Italy. Any suggestions?
Sure, just to make sure it has the right consistency after cooking and mixing it with the rest of the ingredients ;)
Alternatively you can just eat it as a salad without making balls!
@@HungryManKitchen Great, thank you!
You can try with Qnioa it’s close to Bulgur..
🌺🌸
Hmmm, I thought these would be fried.
Hi! Cant i put them for a little bit in oven? With what non vegan dish do you suggest them, because they are too vegan for me 🤭😅
Although not common, you can heat them in the oven, maybe a bit more olive oil will help them to avoid drying. It's usually served as a side dish and can be enjoyed with everything.
@@HungryManKitchen definately will try them! Thanks for the help! God blessin' you
What mens bulgur
This Vosbov Keofte in Armenian
we say in Turkish KÖFTE and not KOFTA!
It is KÖFTE and not Kofta
