Yogurtlu Kebab - Kofta With Tomato Sauce and Yogurt image

Adapted from, 'The New Book of Middle Eastern Food' by Claudia Roden. This is a delicious turkish recipe, traditionally it is served over toasted pita croutons but I like to serve it over the middle eastern rice and lentil dish called 'mujadarra'. You will need to use a kofta recipe, or you can use 'Kofta Meshweya' (#451292) recipe which is what I use when I make this.
