KADINBUDU
Servings: 4-6
Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 15-20 minutes
Cooking time: 8 minutes
For the meatballs;
300 g minced meat/ ground beef- 300 gr mushrooms + ¾ cup green lentil if making vegetarian version.
1 onion, chopped
130 g rice, ¾ cup or 2+1/4 cups leftover pilav
1 egg
2 cloves, crushed
2 teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
½ teaspoon köfte spice mix, etsy.me/3ph4Y0M
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
15 sprigs parsley, chopped
10 sprigs dill, chopped
For coating;
1 cup flour
2 eggs
Sunflower oil for frying
Rocket, for serving
• Place the rice in a saucepan, add water up to 3 fingers higher than the level of the rice. Boil the rice until cooked and drain. You can use leftover pilav as well.
• Take the half of minced meat in a pan and cook on high heat. Add in the onion when the meat changes colour. Cook them together on medium-low heat until all of the onion changes colour and disappear. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Put the other half of raw meat in a bowl, add the egg, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, köfte spice mix, salt, black pepper, parsley, dill and knead until mixed. If you don’t have köfte spice mix. Add oregano or thyme, cayenne pepper and cumin total half a teaspoon.
• Add cooked ground beef and onion mixture and rice when they are cooled to room temperature.
• Put the flour and eggs in separate plates. Beat the eggs and add a pinch of salt to each plate.
• Pour oil in a large frying pan deep enough to cover the meatballs. Shape the mixture into 12-15 ellipses.
• Once oil is hot enough to fry, first cover the meatballs with flour. Shake the excess flour then cover with egg.
• Fry them until golden brown. You can serve the delicious kadınbudu with rocket leaves. You can eat kadınbudu hot or cold.
• To make the vegetarian version, boil the green lentils around 12 minutes until cooked but not mushy. Treat the mushroom like meat. Fry the half with onion and use the other half raw as explained above. We named this Baharbudu because this version is made for Bahar Kitapcı since she loves kadınbudu but can’t eat anymore because she is vegetarian.

I keep returning to your videos over and over again, not only for the great food, but because you and your family of friends are full of such joy. It lifts my spirits! Much love!

Hallo Refika and all team members, I just came back from Turkey last week, I visit your shop and did some shopping during my visit. Also it was really nice to walk around the neighbourhood. Sure I will be back when I visit again.

[@refikabirgul9244]

Ooo ehy didint you come uppppp.. pls next time tell the shop- they will take u up

[@gd.dordor]

@@refikabirgul9244 thank you Refika, you are so kind! I will try to do it next time. Let’s see if we have luck to catch. 😉😊🌻 love the kitchen linen and spatula….. 🤩

[@SusanNachman]

@@refikabirgul9244 sent you guys a package a month ago. Hope it arrived.

[@erikamarshall4900]

I love you style and personality! I was married to a Turkish man for 25 years. I wish I had seen you then you’re awesome.❤❤❤❤

[@cherieburger15]

What a pleasant surprise this morning! Lovely dishes with lovely people!!! Good morning to everyone of you!!! Love and hugs!!!

[@Refika]

Sweetheart ♥️ good morning to you! Enjoy 😍

[@katarzynaszczotka8165]

HI Refika. In Poland we have some similar recipe called "Oszukane gołąbki" (Fake Stuffed Cabbage in English). This recipe also has meat, onion, spicies and rice, but we add chopped cabbage to meatballs, and baked or cooked in tomato sauce (often with sour cream). It's very delicious, I think you should try this :)

[@phyycxis1159]

that sound tasty too. We love our cabbage as well, we have "lahana sarması". if you are familiar with stuffed grapge leaves this would be stuffed cabbage leaves and it's much easier to cook

[@mariaraynor]

Such a great use of left over rice that isn’t egg fried, Chinese style. I make your delicious kofta 😋 now I’ll be making these too! 😊 Your food is delicious Refika and your team is delightful ❤ Until next week, take care, much love 😘😘

[@kimbakimba6241]

Looks delicious. I was going to have ground beef today but didn't know what I was going to do with it now I do I'm definitely making this today thank you love you recipes 😋

[@oijans]

You are making me so hungry!

[@Refika]

Hello mexico!😍

[@xmissmarzx]

I absolutely love your persona and humour everybody shows recipes but I’ll always come back to your videos for you 😍💓💓🧿

[@Refika]

Thamk uuuu lots loads of love

[@drdr73]

refika the rice water can be used as an oral rehydration solution...just add some lime/lemon juice(ie potassium) and some salt (sodium)...rice water was used during the famines in 1943/44 in india,,,,lastly it can be used for making rice paper to wrap spring rolls ! it tastes great with some butter added ...a gruel soup

[@anitadsouza7009]

Yes, in India, rice water is often had as a meal replacement much like barley water when one is ill or unable to eat much. Love all your recipes. God bless you all xx

[@sirbalikhanswat]

Hi sister Refika! Kindly upload travel vlog on Sunday if possible. Thanks

[@coreygilles847]

You are such a good friend to Bahar ❤

[@Christinaanncat]

BAHARBUDU! ❤❤ what a great name 🎉

[@katemolly100]

I watched a couple of the köfte recipes.. I figured with there being so many versions I couldn’t screw it up! Gave me confidence to cook some awesome little slider/meatballs. Thank you!!

[@nahneensultana7735]

Love from Bangladesh. Enjoying your videos and cooking.

[@janetbibriesca7371]

I just love all your recipes, they all look so tasty. My mom and are hoping to visit Turkey in the near future it’s just so full of culture, history, and delicious food.

[@Mdtoger23]

Hahaha ! I’m totally binging your channel today, great recipes and funny!! 😂😂🎉🎉

[@sandya2948]

Such a fun introduction😄 These meatballs look like my dream food. Deliciously seasoned, savoury, crunchy, and handheld! My Refika knife is on my counter waiting to chop fresh herbs. I can’t wait to make this recipe❣️ I love Saturday Refika mornings. Love to you all.

[@lauracolby6038]

Great opening! 😂 You all have so much fun together! I love your channel!

This will be my first air fry recipe! Love everything you do! I did all three broad beans recipes yesterday. Please can you do some more Cypriot recipes for us. Like molehiya x

[@yiannisanton21]

Greetings from GRECCE !!

[@ramonajordan3875]

These look incredibly delicious! I always look forward to Saturdays with Refika and the gang.

[@longestpossiblename]

Thank you for yet another great recipe, well really two recipes! I will have to make this sometime for one of the picnics I have in summer with my nieces. And I think it would be great to share at my church's monthly lunch after the service. I made dolma for it before and everyone loved them, and a couple of other things you have introduced me to. Thank you too for always reminding me to try to minimise waste by considering using the cooking water from the rice! I have to admit I've always poured it down the sink in the past, though I use my rice cooker more often these days. You know, even on days I dont follow one of your recipes I do still benefit from your lessons in how to use some herbs and spices in ways I wasn't used to or in methods of preparing the ingredients. Sending love to you and to everyone in your team ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Refika]

Hey Maggie! Thanks for your comment ❤️ Loves from us too!

[@considerthelilies91]

I love Refika!

I love my boxwood spatulas! I don’t think a day has gone by without me using them since i got them. My other wooden/bamboo spoons are now only used when my boxwood ones are already in use.

[@taidasun]

And here is my Sunday lunch 😍 I will try vegeterian version soon, for sure!

[@user-rm4dj6kf7n]

I love watching Chinese cooking, Azerbaijani cooking, Indian cooking, Mexican cooking, and now I've seen the best..... you're the best presenter Refika, im going to make your lentil bread and these meatballs soon. I cook gluten free. I love your energy and your warmth. Love the way we get to meet your crew. Best wishes

Baharbudu is a genius idea! Loves

[@ArchiTechFit]

One of my favorite dish. People! Cook it, you won't regret. It's traditionally served with fried cube potatoes for some reason.

Refikaaaaaaa I love you !!! Thank you soooooo much! Çok çok çok tesekurlar for the wonderful delicious Turkish recipes you are sharing with us!!! I have a question: I don't like dill can I skip this by adding more parsley? Actually 2 questions...is all spice the equivalent of "Raz el handout"?

[@receitasdovo]

Olá tudo bem , adorei suas receitas , eu adoro novidades.

[@Refika]

Aproveite, querida!

[@Meyravee]

A suggestion: it's great to see videos on how to make the food that foreigners may know. Like köfte, hummus etc. But I think it would also be great if you could do a regular Home Cooking slot. People know about kebab. And kebab. And meze etc but what about recipes a Turkish mom would make. You could use seasonal vegetables. For example Kapuska in the winter, or Patates Yemeği with Kıyma. Then in the spring, how about Bezelye Yemeği... Then Taze Fasulye Etc etc. Everyone is looking for ways to up their vegetable intake. Also kuru fasulye. The list is endless. Simple but delicious.

[@Refika]

Hello, we usually make traditional recipes from Turkish cuisine but I am taking this to my notes in order to plan our next videos accordingly... Thank you for watching us and your kind words! 🥰😍

[@turuanu]

Nice. I don't eat mushrooms or eggs, so I would replace them with eggplant and chickpea flour.

[@Refika]

Tell me how it turns out if you try ♥️

[@turuanu]

@@Refika I wish I could post a picture here. Don't people interact with you like that on Instagram? They post and tag you? I don't use IG a lot.

[@jackie9068]

Sticky rice whole grain would be wonderful too.

[@YATIN0]

Rice starch and lemon juice is good to get rid of dandruff. Indian home remedy 😊

[@Jax-kj5yo]

Hi Refikam. I have to avoid red meat because of a heart issue. Would these work with turkey or chicken mince? As they are dryer when cooked is there anything I could add that would keep the meatballs moist? Love your channel.

[@ImazahraFatimah]

Looks yummy, so similar with 'perkedel' in Indonesia 😍👍

[@Refika]

Enjoy!!! ♥️

[@inashamsia]

The boiled rice water if you use unpolished rice, we call that "am" in our part of the Philippines. We use that as a milk substitute for babies who are lactose intolerant or for thise whose mothers cannot produce enough milk.
