One of the cousins here does something similar with the charcoal when she makes kofta. Instead of frying the kofta fingers, she bakes them in the oven, the does the charcoal thing when they are finished baking.

Do you mean the charcoal for the argile or shisha? Or do you mean charcoal like you would use in a grille?

The coal for the kofta was the kind they use here for shisha, QueenBee.
