kofta burgers
Kofta burgers are fragrant lamb patties bound with spices and onion, grilled until charred and served in pita. The technique here matters: mixing garam masala and coriander into the meat distributes warm spices throughout rather than just on the surface, while the grated onion adds both flavor and moisture that keeps the lean lamb from drying out. Serve with chilli sauce and fresh tomato for a sandwich that tastes like a proper Turkish street meal.
Instructions
step 1 Tip the mince into a large bowl (use a clean washing-up bowl if you don’t have anything big enough) with all the other burger ingredients and a good pinch of salt.
Roll up your sleeves, get your hands into the mix and squelch everything together through your fingers until completely mixed.
Pat the mix into 16 small burgers.
These may now be frozen for up to 1 month or chilled up to a day ahead. step 2 To cook, heat grill to its highest setting and lay the burgers in a single layer on a baking tray (you may need to do this in batches, depending on how big your tray is).
Grill on the highest shelf for 5-6 mins on each side until browned and cooked through.
Pile burgers onto a platter and serve with all the accompaniments, so everyone can construct their own sandwich..
