Lamb & tomato koftas sw
Recipe byIngredients
- 227gm (8oz) finely minced extra lean lamb
- 1½ onions, peeled
- 1-2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1 dried red chilli, finely chopped (optional)
- 2-3tsp garam masala
- 2tbsp chopped fresh mint
- 2tsp lemon juice
- salt
- Fry Light
- 4 small tomatoes, quartered
- mint sprigs, to garnish
For the yoghurt dressing
- 142ml (¼pt) Total 0% Greek yoghurt
- 5cm / 2inch piece cucumber, grated
- 2tbsp chopped fresh mint
1. Method
1. Place the minced lamb in a bowl. Finely chop 1 onion and add to the bowl with the garlic and chilli, if using. Stir in the garam masala, mint & lemon juice and season well with salt. Mix the ingredients well together. Divide the mixture in half, then divide each half into 10 equal portions and form each into a small ball. Spray balls with Fry Light to coat. Quarter the remaining onion half and separate into layers.
2. Thread 5 of the balls, 4 tomato quarters and some of the onion layers onto each of 4 bamboo or metal skewers. Spray with Fry Light and cook under a hot grill for about 10 minutes, turning frequently until they are browned all over and cooked through.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the yoghurt dressing. Mix the yoghurt with the cucumber and mint. Garnish the lamb koftas with mint sprigs and serve hot with the yoghurt dressing.
Note: It is important that the lamb is finely minced and the onion finely chopped or the mixture will not shape neatly and easily into balls. The mixture could be finely processed in a food processor, if wished.
