Tried this recipe. Koftas were a lovely texture due to the fact I slow cookered them, but they were a bit bland. Going to make them again, but going to add more spice!

Oh, forgot to add, if ur serving the koftas on wood skewers, soak the skewers in water for 20 mins before using to prevent burning! x

Just trying this recipe, will let u know how it turns out! Beef koftas with cous cous 500g lean minced beef 1 onion, finely sliced Tsp curry powder (I used tbsp of madras cos I like it spicy!) I whizzed this together in a food processor cos I like it smooth, but u just need to mix...
