These kofta’s are great for the whole family! They are appropriate from 6 months old, and are high in iron, which is an important nutrient our little ones require. If serving to the whole family, we like to eat these in some yoghurt flatbreads with a greek yoghurt/cumin/lemon sauce, some sauerkraut and salad. Delicious!
I also served mine with a quick zucchini salad as I had NO veg in the fridge, turned out really nice. Not really traditional but was delicious. For this you use a mandolin and peel a whole zucchini, add a couple TBSP crumbled feta and make a quick dressing:
2 TBSP olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 tsp honey (omit under 12 months)

Could you make this with gf flour?
i havent tried but i think a GF all purpose flour would work x
Can the flatbread be made gluten free?
i think a GF all purpose flour blend would work 🙂
