Homemade beef kofta is a dish made from minced beef mixed with seasonings and shaped before cooking. The figures here describe a homemade recipe, so the nutrient content may vary with the ingredients used. It mainly provides protein and fat, with little carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 25g of protein, 21g of fat, including 8.5g of saturated fat, and 2.7mg of iron.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. The choice of beef and any added salt can affect the final nutritional content. Full figures are in the tables below.
