  • 500 grams minced lamb
  • 1 egg
  • 1 medium brown onion, chopped finely
  • 1/4 cup(s) pine nuts, chopped finely
  • 2 tablespoon(s) finely chopped fresh mint

  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin

Method

Step 1

Cover burghul with cold water in small bowl; stand 10 minutes. Drain; pat dry with absorbent paper to remove as much water as possible.

Step 3

Heat oil in large frying pan; shallow-fry kofta, in batches, until browned all over and cooked through. Drain on absorbent paper.

Step 4

Serve hot with spiced yoghurt.

Step 5

For the spiced yoghurt, combine ingredients (from chillies down) in medium bowl.
