Other /More definition:
- Kofte : The ingredient of kofte is named "bulgur" and not bulgar. Bulgur is the turkish name for "wheat grains that have been steamed, dried and finely crushed". Instead of bulgur one can use wetted bread-crumbs,too. If you use rice (in turkish: pirinc) instead of bread then this meal is named "pirincli-kofte". We nearly always put grated onion and powdered black-pepper and sometimes one egg into this mixture.
