These were so delicious! A great lunch and the perfect way to add more lentils in our diets. Thank you!

Latha, I just quickly pulsed the quick cooking bulgur as they were coarse in texture. I pulsed it when it was dry and before cooking.

When you say you ground the quick cook bulgur to make it smaller, do you mean before or after you added it to the pot?

Ki, yes you can use green lentils. Cook it till soft so they can bind well.

Yes, you can use cracked wheat. Make sure to use the fine variety as it cooks quicker.

Can cracked wheat (dalia) be substituted for bulgur?

I've never made or had koftes but I have all the ingredients to make these except the bulgur. These would be great for appetizers or back to work lunches!
