Boil raw fellah kofte gently in salted water, adding the pieces in small batches so they do not crowd the pot. When they rise to the surface, check one for doneness, then drain and toss the kofte with sauce.
Raw fellah kofte is shaped dough made mainly from fine bulgur, usually combined with seasonings and a binder such as flour. The formed pieces are uncooked and need to be boiled before serving.
Raw fellah kofte can fall apart if its bulgur dough is too wet, not kneaded enough, or loosely shaped. Knead until the mixture holds together, adjust a wet dough with a little flour, and handle the pieces gently in the pot.
A garlicky tomato sauce is the classic match for raw fellah kofte. Cook garlic and tomato paste briefly in olive oil, add tomatoes, and simmer; toss the drained, boiled kofte in the sauce just before serving.
Yes, raw fellah kofte freezes well before cooking. Arrange the shaped pieces separately on a tray until firm, then transfer them to a sealed freezer bag so they do not freeze into one clump.
No, raw fellah kofte should be cooked before eating. The bulgur may have been moistened during preparation, but that does not replace boiling the shaped pieces before they are served.
No, fellah kofte is made from small, unfilled bulgur-dough pieces, while içli köfte has a bulgur shell filled with a savory mixture, often including meat. Fellah kofte is typically boiled and served with tomato sauce.
Fellah kofte is a traditional Turkish bulgur dish associated with the country’s south, including Adana and Hatay. It is commonly shaped into small pieces, boiled, and dressed with a garlicky tomato sauce.
Boiling is the usual way to cook raw fellah kofte; frying is not a direct substitute for the traditional method. The pieces are delicate before cooking, so frying may brown the outside before the centers cook through.
Serve cooked fellah kofte coated in tomato-and-garlic sauce, with yogurt or a fresh salad alongside. Keeping the yogurt on the side lets diners add it to taste without dulling the sauce.

Raw fellah kofte refers to the uncooked, shaped bulgur mixture used for fellah kofte, a dish associated with southern Turkey, especially the Adana area. Fine bulgur is kneaded with seasonings and often herbs, then formed into small balls; “raw” describes this stage before cooking, not a usual way to eat it.
The balls are boiled until tender, then commonly tossed in a garlicky tomato sauce and finished with parsley. Their texture is soft yet pleasantly chewy, and they make a satisfying main or side dish. Bulgur makes them mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some fibre and relatively little fat. Cook them through before serving; a fresh salad or plain yoghurt makes a good accompaniment.
