Method
step 1
Step 1
Fry the onion in a little oil until it’s soft and translucent, then add the cinnamon and cumin and stir for a minute. Cool and then add half of the mixture to the mince along with the 2 tbsp pine nuts and season well. Divide it into 24 and roll each lump into a neat ball between your hands. Fry them in a little oil until they brown all over (you might need to do this in batches). Lift them into a sieve while you make the sauce.

Step 2
Put the rest of the onion mix into the frying pan (tip out any excess oil first), and add the tomatoes, sugar and vinegar. Bubble the lot gently for 5 minutes, then add the kofta. Cook for 15 minutes, turning over the kofta half way. Make sure they are cooked through. Scatter on the remaining pine nuts and the parsley.
