Instructions
- Mix the mince with salt, water, and breadcrumbs in a large bowl and knead for about 6-7 minutes until firm.
- Cover the bowl and keep it in the fridge and let it marinate for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, mix the lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda in a small bowl then add it to the mince.
- Add the grated onions as well and mix them all until nicely combined.
- Take walnut size pieces from the mixture and turn them into a finger shape. Alternatively, shape them like small burger patties if you want to cook them on the BBQ.
- Repeat until all the mixture is finished. You should end up with around 30-32 koftes. Place them on a plate, cover and put them back in the fridge for another 2-3 hours.
- Grill the koftes on the BBQ or oven-grill or shallow fry on a skillet for about 5 to 6 minutes until they become golden brown.

Notes
- The most important tip for soft and juicy meatballs is to use mince with a minimum of % 25- 30 fat content. It might sound a bit too much but it's the fat that gives the softness and flavor to the kofte.
- Marinate the kofte mixture and leave it in the fridge for 24 hours.
- Shape the koftes into a finger shape, and let them rest for another 2-3 hours before cooking them.
- When shaping the meatballs, wet your palm with a bit of water to avoid the meatballs sticking to your hand.
- Grill them on the BBQ or oven-grill or shallow fry them on a skillet. It is enough to cook for about 5 to 6 minutes until nicely browned. Avoid overcooking them for soft and juicy meatballs.
