Cig Kofte or Turkish style raw meatless bulgur ball is a popular street food of Turkey. The name “cig kofte” means raw meatballs. In the traditional recipe, it has meat along with cracked bulgur wheat. Meat is cooked by adding many spices and kneading by hand for a long time. But as street food, it is commonly made without meat and so it is vegan.
Ingredients For Cig Kofte
1 cup thin bulgur wheat
1 cup of hot water
1 medium size onion
1 tsp salt
about 1/3 cup walnuts
2 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp isot pepper
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp each cayenne pepper, all-spice, cumin
1/4 tsp cinnamon, sumak, ground black pepper
dash of ground ginger
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tbsp red pepper paste
juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon
1 tbsp or more pomegranate juice
about 4-5 tbsp olive oil

Thank you and btw: in the description you made a mistake. Instead of pomegranate molasses, you wrote pomegranate juice.
I went to Istanbul from Singapore in end of 2018. I've known Ali Usta from youtube videos before. Alot of foreigners took pictures with him. He's fast pace and hilarious. We found it so amusing how he screams at everyone to move the line. He has no patience to pack your kofte for you, so you have to be ready and hold your bag open. Sometimes he breaks, hands the whole line a piece of lettuce each and put some cig kofte in them. Then with one squeeze of the lemon, he move through the whole line so everyone gets a bit. Then people get to taste at the same time. It's more for the entertainment than the actual kofte. But I still love it. And that's why I'm here for the recipe 😋
-Customer : Hey Ali usta Can i have Cig Kofte ?
– Ali Usta : Yesn’t 👊
Young lady, your accent is the peak of human existence ! <3
So happy I found this video! My Turkish friend brought some of these from her trip in Turkey and she invited me over and served me this. So delicious! Can’t wait to make them 😍
That street food person is angry man ,always angry
I ended up here because I want to learn how to make Turkish raw meatballs that Can Yaman made from the Rom Com Turkish show Erkenci Kus!!! 😂
İngilizce yazmıyorum kendimizi rezil etmemek için ama resmen çiğ köfteye hakaret etmişsin.
Thanks for this video. I’ve seen this guy on Instagram and always wondered what it is.
This is THE BEST THING EVER!!!!!
Oh I will try thiss 👍🤗🌝
Just tasted this today in Turkey..wow.. Want to make it.. Yours look lovely.. Thankyou for explaining how xx
I lived in istanbul for 2 years and I always saw people eating cig kofte although it looked gross to me and I didn’t wanna try it , but I loved all types of turkish food except for this one which was too much for me to try until one time I was in ikitelli and I ordered a whole grilled meat meal which was served with 5 pieces of cig kofte as a side dish and I finally put one in my mouth and bang ! I loved it
Todos tus vídeos se ven espectaculares, pero me gustaría activaras los subtitulos en español, saludos y gracias
Neden çiğ köfte diyorsunuz bu bulgur köftesine ? Türkçeye de hakaret, kulileri diline de…. Çığ köfte başka şey, bu bulgur köftesi bambaşka şey… Barı SAHTE ÇİĞ KÖFTE deyın. Pes
Dayının da dediği gibi “hiç bir özelliği yok”.. Ali Usta’nın yaptığı çiğköfte değil kısır..
Thank you so very much
So interesting and looks Delicious 🥰🤗🤗🤗

We call this Kebbeh in Lebanon. We make it with meat or potatoes or even pumpkin 🙂

Is the bulgur raw or cooked?
As soon as I heard the accent I knew this was gonna be legit
So delicious! Thank you.
insanın ingilizce ile kulağı delinir mi? oluyormuş şimdi öğrendim.
I ordered Cig Kofte by mistake in Istanbul and was really surprised when I got raw meat with just sauce and lettuce! When I tried it I loved it and immediately got addicted to the amazing taste with all the spices and good nutrition ❤
