Lamb Koftas with Carrot Salad and Spiced Roti
The spices in the lamb kofta eat well with the sweetness of the carrots and raisins in the salad.
Method
Place wooden skewers into a bowl and cover in water to soak.
Combine all but 2 teaspoons of spice mix, mince, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, lemon zest, 10g parsley and 10g cup mint in a medium-sized bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Form into 2 tablespoon ovals with damp hands.
Place on a tray in the freezer for 20 mins to firm up.
To make carrot salad, place carrots, raisins, remaining parsley and ½ remaining mint in a medium-sized bowl.
Combine lemon juice and reserved spice mix.
Add to the carrot mix and season to taste, and set aside.
Heat oven grill to high heat, or BBQ if using.
Remove koftas from the freezer and thread 2 koftas onto each skewer.
Brush with 1 tablespoon oil. Cook koftas under the grill for 10 to 12 minutes, turning regularly, or until cooked.
Combine remaining oil, chilli powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Brush over roti. Cook roti under the grill for 30 seconds each side or until golden and warmed through.
