I've wanted to make kofta for a long time. It's intriguing. It's sort of like a little burger or meatloaf grilled on a skewer. Ground lamb is not easy to find in my local supermarkets but I did find some at my local farmers market last weekend. I thought it would be delicious with some middle eastern spices and I was right. You can also use ground beef if that's what you have.
This recipe comes from Vikram Vij whose Vancouver restaurant I hope to visit one day.
Here's what you need:
1 pound lean ground lamb
2 hot peppers
1 inch fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon cilantro leaves, chopped
¼ teaspoon garam masala
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons flour
1 medium onion, finely grated
½ teaspoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon cilantro leaves, chopped
¼ teaspoon garam masala

2 teaspoons flour
