Directions
Preparation time: 20 minutes Serves: 4-6
Squeeze out excess water from the soaked bread, leaving it quite dry. Combine all the ingredients for the Köfte in a bowl and mix well. Make walnut-shaped balls and keep them covered until they are to be eaten. Then roll them lightly in flour and fry in hot oil for 2-3 minutes until golden all over. They can be shallow -or deep- fried.
Serve it with basmati rice or bulgur pilav. As a drink you can serve yourself Ayran, a kind of salted yogurt drink.
