How to make Minted Lamb Kofta, Flatbread & Tzatziki
Lamb Kofta
Place the lamb mince into a mixing bowl. Add the cumin, garlic, mint, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into cocktail-sized meatballs. Take each bamboo kebab stick and place one meatball at the top end. Form the meatball into the shape of a sausage around the stick.
Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot. Add the vegetable oil. Grill the lamb kofta until browned and charred on all sides.
Once sealed on the outside, reduce the heat slightly and cook through.
Flatbreads
Divide the dough into small balls. Sprinkle some flour on your counter.
From the center out, roll each ball into an oval shape, until about 5mm thick.
Heat a clean griddle pan on low heat, add a little vegetable oil, then place a few flatbreads on the pan.
Cook on low heat until golden brown on one side, then turn and cook the other side until golden brown.
Tzatziki
Mix all ingredients well and serve on the side of the lamb kofta and flatbreads.
Tips & Tricks
For extra flavor, let the lamb kofta marinate for a few hours before grilling.
You can adjust the amount of garlic and mint in the tzatziki to suit your taste.
