Cook the meat, onions, salt and pepper in a little butter until meat is tender. Add some chopped parsley and mix together. Wash and drain the rice, and cook it in 1 1/2 cup salted boiling water. When all the water is absorbed, remove from fire and let cool a little. Shape rice with your hands into small balls; then shape it again like a cup. Fill with meat and cover by bringing the rice walls together. Dip it in beaten egg and fry in butter.
Potato Kufta: Make mashed potatoes and use it in place of cooked rice as directed above.
