Yogurtlu Kebab (Kofta with tomato sauce and yogurt)

From Roden's "The new book of Middle Eastern food".

Delish. As Mike points out, the combination/contrast of the tomato sauce and yogurt works really well. As the recipe didn't specify specifics, I used my "half-sharp" hot paprika in the olive oil mixture on top. With this, I thought it was on the verge of being a little too intense.

The recipe calls the meat concoction "koftas", but I feel like the size of my "burgers" was much bigger than the typical kofta. Whatever, though, right?

Scaling/portion note: the amount of tomato sauce that came out of following the recipe seemed a little skimpy. Increase by 50% next time.






For the recipe, see the image below.  For the kofta part of it, mix the following:
  • 2 lbs ground lamb
  • 2 onions, grated
  • 3 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
