Kofta

Kofta is a family of meatball and meatloaf dishes found in South Asian, Central Asian, Balkan, Middle Eastern, North African, and South Caucasian cuisines. In its simplest form, kofta consists of balls of minced meat, usually beef, chicken, lamb, mutton, or camel, and rarely pork, mixed with spices and sometimes other ingredients. The earliest known recipes appear in early Arab cookbooks and in the Byzantine Empire, and call for ground lamb.
