Kofte is perfect for the barbecue, the pan or the oven, says Serif. I couldn’t agree more – this recipe is simple and delicious. All it needs is a salad.

Ingredients

500 g minced lamb
1 medium onion, grated
2 garlic cloves, crushed
pinch of allspice
pinch of freshly ground black pepper
pinch of chilli flakes
pinch of sweet paprika
pinch of ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1 egg

Preparation

Mix the ingredients together with your hands, kneading until smooth. Wet your hands and roll walnut-sized pieces of mixture into balls. Flatten them slightly. Fry the kofte on a lightly oiled barbecue grill, or in a chargrill pan, for about 1 minute on each side.

Great Recipe!
We are at a summer cottage in Southern Ontario (Canada) where minced lamb is available from a local farmer. Have made this recipe 2x now. Simple to make and very tasty. The video helped a lot to define the "pinches". Thanks!

Hot Tips

Coconut milk/cream

It doesn't take that much effort to get the beautiful sweet mellow taste of fresh coconut. Try and source a coconut grater from an Indian shop or grate it yourself. Crack open a coconut, prize the meat from the shell and peel the brown skin away. Pop small chunks into the food processor or grate on a sharp grater.

Glossary

Thick Caramel Sauce

Thick Caramel Sauce is even more viscous than dark soy, this is used to add a depth of colour and flavour to many dishes. Surprisingly, despite its name, it is not sweet.
