Lamb Kofta

Juicy and flavorful, Lamb Kofta is made with seasoned ground lamb mixed with fresh herbs, garlic, onion, and warm spices like cumin and coriander. The meat is shaped into skewers or patties, then grilled or pan-seared until perfectly charred and tender. Often served with rice, flatbread, yogurt sauce, or a fresh salad, lamb kofta is a savory, aromatic dish that brings bold Mediterranean-inspired flavor to the table.
