Lamb kofta with double-cream fresh yoghurt dipping
No kofta experience is complete without a dipping sauce, and this creamy, spicy yoghurt dip doesn’t disappoint.
Lamb koftas are a delicious dish perfect for a casual meal or a family dinner spread. The rich, spiced lamb is best enjoyed on top of a warm pita bread, accompanied by a simple mix of cucumber, tomato, and red onion, lightly dressed with a vinaigrette and scattered with fresh herbs like mint and parsley.
