The origin of the word
köfte is the
Persian word کوفته
kufteh meaning "mashed". In old times since people did not have meat grinders they minced meat to very small pieces and then mashed them in rather large mortars. As a matter of fact, Persian meatballs (the size of a big apple) are called Kufteh in Persian as they are made from
ground meat as well. Kofte is called Kubideh in Persian, which is another form of the word "Kufteh".
Köfte is usually made of ground meat. It can also be made without any meat at all, as in the cases of lentil köfte or potato köfte
