Knead the bulgur into an elastic kofta dough.
Open pieces of dough, add the filling, and seal them closed.
Boil the koftas in salted boiling water for 15 minutes.
Lift them out with a slotted spoon and serve hot with butter or yogurt.
💡 Tip: Open the bulgur dough thinly in your palm; it is less likely to crack during boiling.
