Adapted from, 'The New Book of Middle Eastern Food' by Claudia Roden. This is a delicious turkish recipe, traditionally it is served over toasted pita croutons but I like to serve it over the middle eastern rice and lentil dish called 'mujadarra'. You will need to use a kofta recipe, or you can use 'Kofta Meshweya' (#451292) recipe which is what I use when I make this.

Steps:
- Put the tomatoes in a pan with the olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper and sugar and cook over a medium heat for about 15 minutes.
- Add the meatballs from recipe #451292, bring the sauce to a simmer, and cook the sauce and meatballs for another 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- If you are using the toasted pita, then toast it under the broiler until brown and crisp. Break it into small pieces.
- In each individual bowl, put a quarter of the toasted pita pieces, tomato sauce and meatballs over it and top with a layer of the yogurt.
- Garnish with the pine nuts, and finely chopped parsley.
