Hello, to make the best kofte use... 1 lb/450gr of mince, a large handful of dry breadcrumbs,a large handful of chopped parsley, 1 egg, 1 large clove of crushed garlic, 1 onion grated, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of dried oregano or thyme.
mix all the ingredients in a bowl and use your hand to sqaush it all together, then leave the mixture in the fridge for 30-40 mins. then make small oval shape balls flattening them slightly. then either fry them in some oil over a low to medium heat or simply grill or bbq until they go golden brown on the outside.
hope this helps. enjoy
