📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A creative dish adapting kofta — ground meat grilled on skewers in the Middle East and Turkey — to be pan-fried like a Japanese hambagu. With no binder, just onion and cumin for aroma, it's eaten with a refreshing yogurt sauce mixed with grated garlic. Ingredients are kept to a minimum so it can be made with things you're likely to have at home.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In the evening, oval patties sizzle in a frying pan as the scent of cumin fills the room and white yogurt sauce is set alongside.
