You know it is a special occasion when kofta appears on the table. At parties, it is the first dish to disappear. At home, it is the meal children remember their mothers making when something mattered.
Oval meatballs of spiced minced meat and rice, hand-rolled and fried until golden. The spices run deep: black pepper, coriander, cumin, and cinnamon, ground fresh and layered through the meat. Enjoy them as they are, golden and fragrant, or simmered in a rich, aromatic stew of tomatoes, onions, and garlic. Each meatball soaks up that thick, hearty sauce while holding its shape, tender within and full of flavour.
Do not mistake this for anything you have had elsewhere. Kofta is Sudanese soul food, made with fresh ingredients and the kind of care that cannot be rushed. Served with bread or rice, this is the dish that turns an ordinary meal into a memory.
