I'm allergic to gluten, so I used gluten-free bread crumbs in this recipe. The kefta turned out great! They were just as flavorful and juicy as the traditional version.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I made a few changes to this recipe. I used almond flour instead of bread crumbs, and I served the kefta over a bed of cauliflower rice. It was a delicious and healthy meal!

I'm a vegetarian, so I made a few modifications to this recipe. I used tofu instead of beef, and I added some extra vegetables to the sauce. The kefta turned out great! They were so flavorful and satisfying, even without the meat.

These kefta were good, but not great. The meatballs were a bit too dense for my liking, and the sauce was a little too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my kefta turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't have much flavor. Maybe I'll try adding more spices next time.

These kefta were a bit dry for my taste. I think I might have overcooked them. But the sauce was really good, so I'll definitely try this recipe again and be more careful with the cooking time.

This kefta recipe was an absolute delight! The meatballs were succulent and flavorful, with a perfect balance of spices. The tomato sauce was rich and tangy, and the addition of the bell peppers and zucchini added a nice crunch and sweetness. I serve
