About Kofta meat
Kofta meat is a flavorful dish made from ground meat, typically beef, lamb, or chicken, mixed with a blend of onions, garlic, herbs, and spices like cumin, coriander, and parsley. Originating from Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines, these seasoned meatballs or patties are often grilled, baked, or simmered in savory sauces. Kofta is a high-protein option, providing essential amino acids that support muscle health. The inclusion of fresh herbs and spices also contributes antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. However, kofta can vary in healthfulness depending on preparation methods; frying or fatty meat cuts may increase calorie and saturated fat content. Opting for lean ground meat and grilling or baking reduces fat, making it a lighter choice. Served with vegetables, yogurt-based sauces, or over whole grains like rice or quinoa, kofta can be a balanced, nutritious addition to a meal.
