This oven-baked kofta is one of those recipes that will make your dinner feel special without much effort. This version uses a mix of lean ground beef and pork and combines it with simple spices like cumin, coriander, paprika, and a touch of garlic for maximum flavor and juiciness. The result is warm, fragrant, and deeply satisfying. I like to press the meat mixture into a slab on a sheet pan, score it, and leave it to the oven. It’s easy and cooks perfectly every time.

Either way, this is definitely my favorite cake of all time. Years ago, my friend…
