👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Finely chop the fish fillets or pulse them in a food processor until coarsely ground. Be careful not to over-process into a paste.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Using a food processor can speed up this step, but pulse gently. - 2
In a bowl, combine the ground fish with finely chopped onion, parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Overmixing can make the kofta tough. - 3
Form the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs (kofta).
- 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Carefully place the kofta in the skillet and brown them on all sides. You may need to do this in batches.
⏱️ 8-10 minutes💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Don't overcrowd the pan; this ensures even browning. - 5
Remove the browned kofta from the skillet and set aside.
- 6
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic for the sauce and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
⏱️ 30 seconds - 7
Whisk in the tahini and lemon juice until smooth. Gradually whisk in the water or fish broth until you achieve a creamy sauce consistency. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: If the sauce is too thick, add a little more liquid. If too thin, simmer longer. - 8
Gently return the browned kofta to the simmering tahini sauce. Cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the kofta are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
⏱️ 20-25 minutes - 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with a pinch of paprika before serving.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
- ✓Use fresh, good-quality white fish for the best flavor.
