Step 1
Mix the mince with salt, water, and breadcrumbs in a large bowl and knead for about 6-7 minutes until firm.
Step 2
Cover the bowl and keep it in the fridge and let it marinate for 24 hours.
Step 3
After 24 hours, mix the lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda in a small bowl then add it to the mince.
Step 4
Add the grated onions as well and mix them all until nicely combined.
Step 5
Take walnut size pieces from the mixture and turn them into a finger shape. Alternatively, shape them like small burger patties if you want to cook them on the BBQ.
Step 6
Repeat until all the mixture is finished. You should end up with around 30-32 koftes. Place them on a plate, cover and put them back in the fridge for another 2-3 hours.
Step 7
Grill the koftes on the BBQ or oven-grill or shallow fry on a skillet for about 5 to 6 minutes until they become golden brown.
