We're not fans of lamb (except the living version), so I was pleased to come upon your "twist" on these koftas. I used kashmiri chili powder for more chili flavor with a little less heat and halved the recipe. I opted for soy sauce and used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. I also roasted the bell peppers because I seem to be on a vegetable roasting kick lately. Great little meatballs that I served with pitas and Recipe #47590. Thank you for posting! *Made for PAC Fall 2008.*

Full time college student majoring in Secondary Education- English. I spend my time maintaining my 4.0, playing computer games with my boyfriend and taking my rat terrier to the park.
I really would like to be someone who cooks exotic, healthy and delicious foods and I try to expand my mental cookbook all the time. I learned all I know about cooking from my mom and great grandmother, who is currently 97 and still driving, and still call them if I can't remember specifics for a dish.
I have an immune disorder and accompanying hypoglycemia which restricts my diet. ( I have to eat protein every few hours to feel healthy, and also must be careful to eat very little "processed foods." No fast food or microwavable yummies for me. :( )
