Kofta Bites

• 400g mince lamb
• 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp cumin seeds, crushed
• 1 tsp chilli powder (add a little more for more of a kick)
• 2 tsp garam masala
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• handful fresh coriander, finely chopped

Method

1. In a large mixing bowl add the mince lamb with all the other ingredients except the oil.
2. Mix everything together using your hands to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
3. Rub a little oil on to your hands to stop the mixture sticking to your fingers.
4. Take a small amount of the meat and roll in your palms to make a meatball. Ensure it is smooth all over and set to one side. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
5. Heat the oil in a frying pan.
6. Carefully fry the meatballs (kofta) in batches so they brown and crisp up all over (15-20 mins).
7. Remove the kofta using a slotted spoon and set them on some kitchen paper to drain.
8. Serve as a little snack or serve 2 or 3 as a lovely starter.
