Koofteh is a traditional dish prepared in various regions with different methods and ingredients. It is typically made from a mixture of ground meat (beef or lamb), rice, split peas, and aromatic herbs like chives, parsley, and dill. Sometimes eggs, dried plums, walnuts, and barberries are added to the mix, which is shaped into large balls.

After being prepared, the koofteh balls are cooked in a sauce made of water, tomato paste, and spices to enhance the flavor. This dish has many variations, such as Tabrizi koofteh, koofteh rizeh (small meatballs), and herb koofteh.
