Using a small spoon, hollow out the zucchini pieces slightly and save the flesh.
Place the zucchini flesh in the baking dish as a layer.
Arrange the hollowed zucchini pieces in the dish with the hollow side up.
Form the kofte into balls the size of the hollows and stuff them into the zucchini pieces.
