We like to think of lamb koftas as a real menu workhorse. These little rounds do a lot of flavour heavy lifting. Juicy lamb mince mixed with chopped onion, fresh coriander and spices galore, including cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon, paprika and dried mint. That’s a lot of ingredients to keep on hand at home, so we’ve done the hard work for you and have them ready to grill at yours.
But just how will you serve them? Keep reading for three very good options.
