Recipe Ingredients
Below are the few ingredients needed to make homemade lamb kofta wraps:
- Lamb Mince: I use 20% fat lamb mince; this helps to create lamb koftas with a juicy and moist texture.
- Lamb Kofta Seasonings: The seasonings are made from a mixture of fresh parsley, salt, chilli flakes, paprika, ginger and garlic paste, black pepper and cumin.
- Wraps Or Flatbreads: For this recipe you can use standard tortilla wraps or more traditional flatbreads and pitta breads.
- Salad: Fill each kofta kebab wrap with your favourite salad toppings. I like to add diced lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions and a squeezing of lemon juice.
- Garlic Sauce: To make this creamy sauce, a mixture of garlic yoghurt, mayonnaise (optional), garlic powder (or minced garlic), lemon juice, salt and black pepper are mixed together. See my full kebab shop garlic sauce recipe for full instructions.
Kofta Cooking Methods
There are many ways that you can cook these lamb koftas, three popular cooking methods are over the grill (barbecue), fried over a stove or grilled in the oven.
Traditionally, koftas are grilled or roasted over a hot fire which gives the meat a delicious smoky flavour. I like to fry the meat in a tawa or frying pan but cooking it in the oven also works really well.
How To Make Lamb Kofta Wraps
Below is a step-by-step guide on how to make the best lamb kofta kebab wraps. Full recipe instructions are on the recipe card:
Step One:
Add lamb mince to a large mixing bowl followed by all the ground spices, diced parsley and ginger and garlic paste.
Use your hands to mix the seasonings into the meat until evenly distributed.
Step Two:
Portion the seasoned lamb mince into 8 to 10 even-sized balls. Take one ball and use your hands to mould the meat around a skewer. Watch the video to see how I did this.
TIP: If you’re making these koftas on the grill, soak the wooden skewers in water to prevent it from burning. Otherwise, you can use flat metal skewers.
Step Three:
Heat a pan or tawa on a medium heat and drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil. Place 2 to 3 koftas in the pan and fry for 3 to 5 minutes on both sides.
TIP: You can add more or less koftas depending on the size of the pan you are using.
