Turkish Kofte With Eggplant Base & Tomato Sauce

Turkish kofte with eggplant puree and tomato sauce! Kofte is basically a meatball. We use koftes in many dishes and so with the eggplants. In this version, I made an eggplant base as we say in Turkish"begendi" and place the grilled koftes on top, drizzling tomato sauce over it with grated cheese. With a final cook in the oven, it comes out delicious...
