What does fellah kofte taste like?

Where does fellah kofte come from?

Is fellah kofte made with meat?

Can you freeze fellah kofte?
Yes, fellah kofte can be frozen, and it keeps its texture better when the cooked dumplings are frozen separately from the sauce. Thaw them before reheating, then toss with freshly warmed sauce so the dumplings do not become soggy.
How long does leftover fellah kofte last in the fridge?
Leftover fellah kofte keeps for about three to four days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Reheat it until steaming hot, adding a splash of water if the tomato sauce has thickened or the dumplings have absorbed it.

What is Fellah kofte?
Fellah kofte is a southern Turkish dish of small bulgur dumplings, usually shaped with a little flour and water, boiled, then tossed in a garlicky tomato and pepper sauce. It is especially associated with Adana and the Çukurova region, though home recipes vary.
It is served warm, often as a meze or alongside other dishes, with chopped parsley and sometimes yogurt. The bulgur makes it a filling, grain-based choice with mostly carbohydrate, some plant protein and a useful amount of fibre: about 4.1 g per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of sauce and serve it with a fresh salad or greens.
