Ingredients

8 servings

1 lb / 500 g lamb mince ((ground lamb))
1/2 onion (, grated)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (, preferably panko)
2 cloves garlic (, crushed)
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp coriander
2 tsp paprika
1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp cayenne pepper ((this is a bit spicy, reduce to taste or leave out))
1 tsp cooking / kosher salt
1/2 black pepper
1 cup yogurt (, Greek or other thick plain)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic (, crushed)
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt and pepper (, each)
8 skewers ((Note 1))
8 flatbreads (small)
Shredded Red Cabbage, Carrot and Mint Salad ((Note 3))
OR shredded lettuce, tomato and onion slices ((Note 3))

Steps

Yogurt Sauce: Combine the yogurt sauce ingredients and leave in fridge for at least 20 mninutes for the flavor to develop (overnight even better!).
Koftas: Grate the onion into the bowl using a standard box grater. Add remaining Kofta ingredients and mix well with your hands.
With damp hands, divide the meat into 8 equal pieces and push and shape the meat onto 8 skewers. Make them smooth (looks nicer, pictured!) or a bit nubbly (more surface area to brown!).
Stove: Preheat 1/2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook in batches for 5 minutes in total, turning to brown evenly all over.
BBQ: BBQ on medium high for about 6 minutes, rotating to brown all over.
Broiler/oven grill: preheat and cook koftas 30cm/10" from heat source for 12 minutes, rotating as needed until lightly browned (you won't get as good a browning as stove/BBQ).
Do a DIY spread - pile everything onto a platter a make everyone serve themselves.
Get a flatbread, smear with Yogurt Sauce, top with Red Cabbage Mint Salad (more options Note 3) then Kofta, drizzle over more Yoghurt Sauce. Devour and be happy!
