 1/4 cup mint, chopped (optional)
 1 1/2 tsp salt

1

Place the kofta mixture ingredients in a deep bowl and mix well.

2

Bring a baking tray.

3

Form fingers from the kofta mixture. Arrange in the baking tray next to each other.

4

Cut the tomatoes in half, then cut each half into slices to get the semi-circular slices.

5

Place the tomato slices between the kofta fingers so that the slices stick to the kofta. The chopped portion of tomato should be down.

In a cup, add lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, garlic, spices, cardamom and water. Mix well and pour over the kofta.

7

Bake in a 350F oven uncovered for about one hour. Serve.
