1Begin by making the koftes. Place the minced beef in a mixing bowl and add the onion, garlic, pistachios, egg and chilli. Sprinkle in the herbs, keeping a small handful to the side to garnish the dish later.

2Grind the fennel, cumin and coriander seeds together in a pestle and mortar or spice blender until fine, then stir in the cinnamon and then add to the kofte mix.

3Mix together the kofte ingredients with your hands and season well with salt. Place the Signature Cast Iron Skillet on a medium heat and fry a tiny bit of the meat so you can check the seasoning. Add more chilli, salt or spice to taste

4Remove the skillet from the heat and then roll the meat into little balls, no bigger than the size of a golf ball and place in the fridge for an hour to firm-up.
