Steps

Prepare Kofta

In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince with the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Shape the mixture into 8-12 oval koftas.

Cook Kofta

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the koftas in batches for 12-15 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides and cooked through. Alternatively, you can grill them over medium heat for 12-15 minutes.

Make Minted Yogurt

While the koftas are cooking, prepare the minted yogurt. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the chopped fresh mint and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

Serve the warm lamb koftas with the refreshing minted Greek yogurt. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or parsley, if desired.
