My local store sells cig köfte (pardon the spelling, my keyboard doesn't support some special characters) cheap. I thought about making some but I was told that it involved a lot of kneading and it's hard to make. Kinda disappointed that I didn't try the local ones in Istanbul.
I'm guessing homemade is a lot better than store-bought?
Çiğ köfte are a bit different and I rarely bother making them because I'm not a fan of kneading either lol. These lentil köfte are so much easier. No kneading at all.
