Instructions
- Boil the eggs in a pan of water for about 6 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the pan and plunge into cold water. Allow to cool. Gently crack the shells of the eggs all over and peel off the shells.
- Grind the meat in a food processor for about 30 seconds. Add the remaining ingredients and process to a smooth dough.
- Spilt the dough into four pieces. Wet your hands and take each piece of dough and shaped it into a ball.
- Take a dough ball and press into a pattie. Place an egg in the centre of the pattie and fold the dough around the egg. Work the kofta into a nice even ball. Repeat for the remaining dough balls.
- Either shallow fry in about 3 cm (1″) of oil until golden brown, or deep fry at 180°C for about 6-7 minutes.
